About the wine
Creamy, barrel-aged Chardonnay
- Vibrant flavors of tropical fruit and citrusy orange blossom start this Chardonnay off, before opening up to rich, mouth-filling layers of buttery, toasty oak from Camille’s choice of special barrel fermentation.
- After harvesting a mix of top-quality Chardonnay from a pair of vineyards in Napa and Alexander Valley, Camille barrel fermented, then aged her wine in French oak for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Camille is one of the most sought-after talents from Napa to her native France, combining the best winemaking influences from both into high-end wines like this Chardonnay. For funding this worldwide icon, you get this elegant white wine with an exclusive $14 Angel savings!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Camille Benitah
- Camille learned her craft in Bordeaux, France working at very prestigious Chateaux there. She moved to California and was the winemaker for one of Napa's most sought-out cult wines, Merus ($150 a bottle).
- But like all real artists, Camille wanted to make her own wine, her own way -- and Angels allow her to do just that. She's uncompromising and fiercely protective of her wines every step of the way.
- We didn't hold anything back with Camille. She gets to make her dream wine, no holds barred, and the results are spectacular.
