Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Fume Blanc La Petite Etoile, from a vineyard in the Russian River, shows the influence of the site, the presence of 30% Sauvignon Musque and aging in French oak barrels, all of which yielded a rich, textured white. All of the elements are beautifully balanced in this honeyed, expressive Fume Blanc. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.

Founded in 1973 in the Sonoma Valley, Chateau St. Jean is the quintessential Sonoma winery. Chateau St. Jean produces an extensive portfolio of Sonoma County wines as well as vineyard designated wines, limited production Reserve wines, and the flagship Cinq Cépages Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker Margo Van Staaveren uses her more than 30 years of vineyard and winemaking expertise with Chateau St. Jean to continue the tradition of highlighting the best of each vineyard site to produce exceptional wines. Chateau St. Jean was the first Sonoma winery to be awarded the prestigious “Wine of the Year” award from Wine Spectator Magazine for its 1996 Cinq Cépages, a Bordeaux style blend of “five varieties” and has long been recognized as a leader in vineyard designated wines.
