Chamard Vineyards was founded in 1983 by the William R. Chaney family.
The first vines were planted in the spring of 1984, a 5.5 acre vineyard
consisting primarily of Chardonnay with a small quantity of Cabernet Sauvignon
and Pinot Noir. From 1986 through 1992 the remaining acreage was prepared
and planted, for a combined total of 20 acres. In the summer of 1988,
the winery was constructed and Chamard became a licensed farm winery.
The first wine, a 1988 Chardonnay was released for sale in November of
1989. Current production is 5,000 cases annually.
The Wines
Chamard Vineyards is dedicated to producing fine wines from classic
European wine grapes. A blend of time-honored wine making techniques
and state of the art winery equipment are used to create world class
wines. The main focus at Charmard is on Chardonnay, the most noble white
wine grape variety in the world and the best variety that grows in the
region. The vineyards spread across 40 acres of gently sloping fields
along the southern Connecticut coast, just two miles from Long Island
Sound. The 20 acres of established vines include the varieties Chardonnay,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Chamard's
classic New England styled winery features finely crafted stonework
using field stones from the property and wooden beams milled from trees
cut from property.
Chamard benefits from a unique micro-climate influenced greatly by
Long Island Sound. Located two miles from the sound and six miles from
the mouth of the Connecticut River, this maritime climate produces mild
winter temperatures and a long, warm growing season. The rich, stony
soil, gently sloping land and moderate climate provide an ideal environment
for the growing of European wine grapes.
