The Peter Michael Belle Côte Chardonnay 2017 is a single-vineyard wine from the Knights Valley AVA in Sonoma County, California. Sourced from the estate’s oldest Chardonnay vineyard, planted in 1990, it benefits from a high elevation that promotes a slow ripening process. This vintage is crafted using Burgundian techniques, including hand-harvesting and natural fermentation in French oak barrels, with a notable proportion of new oak. The resulting profile displays notes of citrus, white florals and mineral undercurrents, with a structure that reveals the complexity expected from mature vines.
