When Moët Hennessy USA president, Jim Clerkin, said, "We do not launch new wines brands often," he wasn't kidding. Smoke Tree, with Domaine Chandon's Joel Burt handling the winemaking, is MHUSA's first new wine brand in 16 years. Sourced mainly from the Russian River and Carneros, their polished and richly balanced Chardonnay was aged in both tank and barrel.
