HistoryThe estate was established in 1877 by two Frenchmen, Jean Brun and W.J. Chaix who were among the first to plant vineyards up on Howell Mountain instead of on the Napa Valley floor and were California's thirteenth registered winery, who labeled the wines as Nouveau Medoc Vineyard.[1] The stone winery was built in 1886.[2] The estate was bought in 1980 by Francis and Françoise DeWavrin. Françoise DeWavrin née Woltner is the granddaughter of Fréderic Otto Woltner whose Château La Mission Haut-Brion rose in reputation under his and the management of his innovative sons Fernand and Henri. The DeWavrins ran La Mission for a number of years after the death of the Woltner brothers in 1974 until the estate was sold in 1983,[3] and the DeWavrins concentrated on the estate renamed Chateau Woltner, producing their first vintage in 1985.[1][2] SaleUpon the decision of Francis and Françoise DeWavrin-Woltner to retire, Chateau Woltner was sold to Pat and Anne Stotesbery, owners of Ladera Vineyards, in August 2000.[2][4][5] The new owners declared plans to refurbish the winery and replace the Chardonnay vines with red Bordeaux grape varieties.
