Founded in 1973, the Chateau St. Jean cellar was designed in the European style, where individual vineyard lots could be kept separate throughout the winemaking process to allow the individual character and expression of each site to be fully captured. It’s not surprising that the winery soon became a leader in vineyard designated wines.

Today, the Chateau St. Jean wine collection reflects our many years working with the exceptional vineyards of Sonoma County. From the Icon Cing Cépages to our Single Vineyard wines to the Sonoma Estates releases, each Chateau St. Jean wine carries a classic signature imparted by Winemaker Margo Van Staaveren and her Team.
