For Chateau Elan, a sweeping 3,500-acre resort and winery in Braselton, Georgia, it all started with the Muscadine grape. This variety, native to the southeastern region of the U.S., created a sweet wine that immediately enchanted Chateau Elan’s founders Don and Nancy Panoz. Intrigued by the winemaking potential in their part of the state, they experimented with more common varieties such as Merlot and Chardonnay. However, it was Muscadine that continued to leave an impression. When Italian oenologist Simone Bergese joined the estate, he not only highlighted the versatility of Muscadine by expanding the offerings of styles, but he created a dynamic portfolio of wines. Elan’s diverse wines include Italian varieties like Teroldego and Aglianico as well as international favorites such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Sauvignon Blanc.
