The Peter Michael Mon Plaisir Chardonnay 2016 is a notable expression of a single-vineyard white wine sourced exclusively from the Mon Plaisir vineyard in Sonoma County`s Knights Valley AVA. This high-elevation site, characterised by volcanic soils, benefits from significant sun exposure. The winemaking process adheres to Burgundian practices, involving hand-harvesting and whole-cluster pressing, followed by fermentation with native yeasts in French oak barrels. Aged sur lie with regular bâtonnage, the wine presents a profile of ripe orchard fruits, citrus notes and a subtle minerality. Peter Michael Winery is renowned for its pioneering efforts in producing premium wines in California.
