Les Lunes Sonoma Mountain Macerated Chardonnay 2025

Juicy, textured, and a little unconventional, this Macerated Chardonnay shows off the grape in a different light. The skin contact gives it a fuller mouthfeel, while carbonic maceration brings out fresh tropical notes such as pineapple and mango. This Chardonnay shows off the creative, fun expression of fruit from Nirenstein Vineyard, Sonoma Mountain AVA.

Shaunt Oungoulian and Diego Roig produce wine under two labels, Populis and Les Lunes Wine. In addition to making wine, they farm and manage over eight hectares of vineyards in Sonoma and Napa and are committed 100% to organic farming and restoring and preserving older and historic vineyards in those counties. Their Les Lunes Wines are made from these vineyards and the top sites from their growers in Mendocino County. The Les Lunes Wines show the more classic, refined, elegant, and ageable side of natural wine.

Their facility is literally the basement of Shaunt’s parents’ house in Orinda, just east of Berkeley. This allows them to produce wine without the interference of other wineries’ yeasts or influences as well as allowing them to age their wine for multiple vintages before release if needed. They are absolutely 100% committed to farming and producing wines organically. They make no additions to the wines save for a small dose of sulfur before bottling if needed, as determined on a barrel by barrel basis.
