The Peter Michael Belle Côte Chardonnay 2006 is a notable single-vineyard wine from the Knights Valley AVA in Sonoma County. Sourced from the Belle Côte vineyard, which has been producing Chardonnays since 1990, it benefits from high elevation and an eastern exposure that shelters the grapes from excessive heat. The terroir features rocky volcanic rhyolite soils, contributing to complex flavour profiles. The wine undergoes natural fermentation in French oak barrels and spends time aging on lees, highlighting a meticulous winemaking tradition. The 2006 vintage reveals intricate layers of stone fruit, citrus and a distinct minerality.
