Peter Michael Winery was founded by British businessman Sir Peter Michael in the early 1980s with a singular vision. "to make wine in the terroir-driven tradition of Burgundy and Bordeaux, under the California sun and in California soil". Consistency and quality are the principles here – the wines are clearly inspired by the poise and precision of their Old World counterparts but can`t help expressing an edge of Californian richness. Mon Plaisir (My Pleasure), is Peter Micheal’s original Chardonnay, planted in one of their mountainside vineyards, entirely from the Old Went clone. Mon Plaisir Chardonnay 2011 is produced in Sonoma County`s Knights Valley AVA. A cool vintage that required careful vineyard management, the 2011 was a very low yielding vintage. Resulting in in flavourful and elegant wine. Notes of apricot, pear and brioche and hazelnuts, are balanced by fresh acidity and a lingering finish.
