This is a crisp, fresh, mid-weight Chardonnay that will have you asking for another glass. It starts with yellow apple, oak spice, and brown butter. The palate is driven by ripe apples, and pineapples layered with cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon curd. From 26 different countries and 142 varietals of wines that participated this year, Trois Noix won the Chardonnay of the year award at the Sommeliers Choice Awards 2021.
Sommeliers Choice Awards is a global wine competition that gives on-premise buyers and sommeliers a critical benchmark for understanding which wines would make a beneficial extension to a wine list.
Jaime Araujo, Founder/Vintner and her family has been making world-class wines in the Napa Valley for over 25 years, first at Araujo Estate and now at Accendo Cellars. Upon her return to Napa Valley to become a vintner, she knew that she wanted to create a wine that would reflect her personality, and what she loved most about wine were people and community.
The name “Trois Noix,” which means “Three Nuts,” is a homage to the next generation of Araujos, her love of France, and the memories she made there as a young woman in the world of wine.
A unique opportunity to present your wines to America's top sommeliers. The wine scores are benchmarked for on-premise channels by top sommeliers, master sommeliers, wine directors and restaurant wine buyers. Submission deadline is April 24.
