Mes Filles Vineyard is located in the Sebastopol Hills less than 2 miles from Kanzler Estate and was planted by our vineyard manager Eric Neal in 1998. Despite its proximity, Mes Filles exhibits markedly different growing conditions due to its altitude and exposure. The vines crown a 500-foot hill, directly exposing them to the wind and fog that stream in from the Petaluma Gap, a break in the coastal mountains of Sonoma County that funnels in ocean air. The altitude and steep slopes make for quick-draining soils, and the various sun exposures combined with the rootstock and clonal selections yield diverse and interesting flavors. We source three Pinot Noir clones from this special site.
