About the Estate

Chateau St. Jean is one of Sonoma Valley's most recognizable estates, a winery of long reputation for single-vineyard Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The property in Kenwood was built in the 1920s as a private summer retreat and converted to a winery in 1973. The flagship Cinq Cépages Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the Alexander Valley has become a California collector's wine. The tasting room and grounds remain one of the most visited destinations in the Wine Country.

The People Behind the Wine
Winemaker
Head Winemaker
Kyle Altomare grew up in Sonoma County and spent years working harvests across California and Spain before joining Gloria Ferrer in 2012. He became Head Winemaker in 2016, bringing a meticulous approach to traditional method sparkling wine rooted in extended lees aging, precise blending, and an almost obsessive attention to the character of individual estate blocks.
