     This amends the  Statement on Schedule 13D dated April 19, 1989, as amended
by  Amendments  No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9
thereto (collectively,  the "Schedule 13D") previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission by Domaines Barons de Rothschild  (Lafite) with respect
to its beneficial  ownership of common stock,  no par value, of The Chalone Wine
Group, Ltd., a California corporation.

      Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

     This  statement  relates to the  Common  Stock,  no par value (the  "Common
Stock")  of  The  Chalone  Wine  Group,  Ltd.,  a  California  corporation  (the
"Company").  The  address of the  Company's  principal  executive  office is 621
Airpark Road, Napa, California 94585-6272.

     This  Amendment No. 10 was  originally  filed  electronically  on April 14,
1997.  Through a clerical error the CIK Number used for the Subject  Company was
the CIK Number of the Filer.  Accordingly,  this  Amendment  No. 10 was  indexed
incorrectly  in the EDGAR  Database.  This  filing is being made to correct  the
original filing.

      Item 2.  Identity and Background.

           Response unchanged.

      Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

           On April 10, 1997,  Domaines  purchased  $500,000 principal amount of
the Company's 5%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  due April 18, 1999 (the
"Debentures")  for an  aggregate  consideration  of  $575,083.50,  plus  accrued
interest of $12,291.67.  The Debentures were purchased from Hansa AG. The source
of the funds  utilized by Domaines to purchase  the  Debentures  was its working
capital.


<PAGE>

      Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

           All of the shares of Common  Stock  acquired by Domaines  pursuant to
all previously reported transactions and the transaction which is the subject of
this Amendment were acquired for investment.  Domaines does not have any present
plan or  intention  which would  result in or relate to any of the  transactions
described  in  subparagraphs  (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the  Instructions  to
Schedule 13D.

      Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

           (a) As of April 10, 1997,  Domaines  beneficially owned, an aggregate
of 4,496,144  shares of Common Stock,  which  includes  357,143 shares of Common
Stock  issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants  acquired by Domaines on March
29, 1993 ("1993  Warrants");  416,667  shares of Common Stock  issuable upon the
exercise  of the  Warrants  acquired  by Domaines on October 25, 1995 (the "1995
Warrants"),  and 567,706 shares  issuable upon exercise of $5 million  principal
amount of the Company's 5%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  due April 18,
1999  acquired May 13, 1996,  and 56,770  shares  issuable  upon exercise of the
Debentures  which are the  subject of this  filing.  The shares of Common  Stock
beneficially  owned by  Domaines  represent  49.7  percent of the  Common  Stock
outstanding,  after  giving  effect to the  additional  shares  of Common  Stock
issuable on the exercise of the 1993 Warrants, the 1995 Warrants, and conversion
of the $5.5 million  principal  amount of Debentures  which it owns,  based on a
total of  7,641,043  shares  outstanding  on March 8,  1997 (as  advised  by the
Company).

           (b) Domaines has sole voting and dispositive power over all shares of
Common Stock it holds.

           (c) Other than the purchase of the  Debentures  (as described in Item
3),  Domaines has not effected any  transaction in shares of Common Stock during
the past 60 days.

           (d)  Not applicable.

           (e)  Not applicable

      Item 6.  Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings or Relationships

connection with the purchase of the Debentures from Hansa AG.
