Champoux Vineyards, LLC was formed in 1996 by Paul and Judy Champoux, and a consortium of the wineries that have been customers for many years. The vineyard was the old Mercer Ranch Vineyard, planted by Don Mercer in the late 70's and early 80's.

Paul has managed the vineyard since 1989 and has improved the quality of this 170 acre vineyard with his canopy management and nutritional balance. The vineyard is made up of 84 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 16 acres of Chardonnay, 13 acres of Lemberger, 30 acres of Riesling, 7 acres of Muscat, 8 acres of Cabernet Franc, 2 acres of Syrah, and 10 acres of Merlot. The member wineries in the LLC, are Andrew Will, Badger Mountain/Powers, Quilceda Creek, and Woodward Canyon.

Champoux Vineyard is located in Alderdale, just outside of Prosser, Washington.

"If Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard sites in Washington were one day to be classified, the Phinney Hill block of the Mercer Vineyard would quite probably lead the list as the Lafite of Washington State."
Gerald Asher, Gourmet Magazine, November 1993
