Production & Heritage

E.&J. Gallo Winery, founded in 1933 by brothers Ernest and Julio Gallo, is the largest family-owned winery in the world, headquartered in Modesto, California. Livingston Cellars Chablis Blanc is fermented in stainless steel tanks, a method that preserves the wine’s bright fruit character and keeps it clean and fresh without oak influence. The “Chablis” designation here follows the American tradition of using the name as a generic style term for dry-to-off-dry white wine rather than referencing the French appellation; the base grape is Chardonnay. The wine is sealed with a screw cap for consistent quality and easy resealing across the 3L format.
