Kosta Browne winery, part of the publicly listed wine company The Duckhorn Portfolio, has produced its first wines in Burgundy: four Pinot Noirs from the Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Volnay and Beaune Premier Cru appellations, and a Chardonnay from Meursault.
For a Sebastopol-based outfit that began as a Russian River and Sonoma Coast label, a 25-year expansion through California now takes a quantum leap across the Atlantic to Beaune.
