After many years of patient testing and tasting. The Christian Brothers finally achieved the glory of this wine which they submitted as yet unnamed-to the judges of the two Official California Wine Judgings who awarded it nine gold medals from 1955 through 1959. Plainly such a wine desrved a very special name.
And so... the Christian Brothers named this wine after a beautiful old Chateau in Reims France. It was the home of their founder St Jean Baptiste de La Salle born in 1651.
As St Jean Baptiste de La Salle brought goodness and enlightenment into the hearts of men, it is The Brothers hope that their Chateau La Salle brings goodness and enlightenment of happy companionship into your home.
