A young, fresh and bold Chardonnay varietal from vines planted in Jean Leon's vineyards in 1991. The number 3055 refers to Jean Leon’s New York cab license and reveals the man behind the legend: the humble beginnings of an idealist whose almost absurdly varied life saw him avoid the draft, escape Franco, befriend Marilyn Monroe, not to mention achieving his dream of opening the most famous restaurant in Hollywood and creating his own namesake wine. A bright, fresh and fruity wine for a modern palate. Made from Chardonnay grapes grown on our estate. Characterized by very intense notes of tropical fruit and a long, lingering finish. Fresh on the palate, long and elegant in the mouth with a balanced, lively finish. Jean Leon
