Our Recherché’ Reserve Collection wines are the pinnacle of our craft at La Rochelle. For almost four decades Tom Stutz has been refining the art of making Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. His experience and relentless commitment to research illustrates how winemaking can become an intergral part of terroir.

We were delighted when we purchased our our new winery in Kenwood to discover that our Estate Chardonnay vineyard was able to produce such exceptional Chardonnay. Tom has been able to capture both the crisp citrus fruit character and the rich tropical undertones that make this site unique. The Hays Estate Vineyard Chardonnay has rapidly become our most popular Chardonnay.
