Chrysalis Vineyards is extremely proud to present America’s first varietally labeled Petit Manseng - traditionally grown in the Jurançon region of Southwest France. Petit Manseng is an aromatic grape producing sweet wines bursting with aromas and flavors of flowers, honey, candied fruit and spice. It is important to note that the sweetness and balanced acidity in this wine is the result of natural ripening of the fruit in the Virginia sun, producing an elegant wine with a clean, crisp finish.

Papillon is the French word for butterfly. Our Papillon is a deep, robust, yet elegant red wine made from several rare and traditional grape varieties of southwest France. After aging in French oak, the juice emerges from the cellars of Chrysalis as wine, transformed by the natural processes of yeast and oak - just like the butterfly, beautifully transformed, emerges from her chrysalis. Papillon fills the mouth with complex flavors of ripe pitted fruits, merged with hints of earth and smoke. This premium wine will age well, and should be paired with robust red meats and aged cheeses.

Chrysalis Vineyards grows over 20 different varieties of grapes. This provides a broad range of flavors and attributes to support our view that many of the finest wines of the world are the product of skillful blending. Occasionally, in outstanding years, one of these varieties will distinguish itself with such high quality and intense varietal expression that it warrants being presented on its own. This Petit Verdot, from our Hollin Vineyard, is one of these special bottlings. We are proud to offer this distinctive wine, which exemplifies the full potential that this traditional Bordeaux variety can attain.

After two years in the bottle, our ultimate flagship Norton has mellowed into an elegant wine, which is still big and earthy, with hints of peppery chocolate. Filled with concentrated spicy black fruits, it finishes long and is aging well.
