“Peter Michael is an impeccably run, world-class winery and it is probably impossible to find a greater set of Chardonnays anywhere else in the world.” – Robert M. Parker, Jr.
These wines are highly sought after by collectors the world over. Normally we’re lucky to see just a few bottles, so was ecstatic to see a little more this time around. If you love top-notch Chardonnay, don’t miss these.
“I like wines that are powerful and elegant too. 2018 was a great vintage for this. And it is a great vintage for aging—these wines should be great in two decades!” – Nick Morlet, winemaker.
Peter Michael Belle Cote Chardonnay 2018
Sale $99.99
97-99 pts Wine Advocate
“A tank sample, the 2018 Chardonnay Belle Cote comes from a block planted to Old Wente and See Clone selections. In fact, this is from the oldest, 1990 plantings on the estate. Wow—the nose explodes from the glass with powerful scents of guava, quince, tangerine and lime blossoms plus touches of ginger ale, peach cobbler and crème caramel with a waft of struck flint. Medium-bodied, the palate features laser precision with a racy line cutting through the intense, tightly wound, mineral-laced fruit, finishing long and zesty. Should age incredibly! 3,100 cases are due to be made.”
Peter Michael La Carriere Chardonnay 2018
Sale $99.99
96-98+ pts wine Advocate
“A tank sample, the 2018 Chardonnay la Carriere comes from a block planted to Dijon and Hyde (Old Wente) clone selections. It sashays out of the glass with flamboyant notions of fresh ginger, lemongrass, allspice and orange blossoms over a core of peach preserves, pink grapefruit and apple pie with wafts of baking bread and marzipan. Medium to full-bodied, the texture is simply stunning—so satiny with fantastic tension to counter and layer upon layer of spices and savory flavors, finishing very long and very perfumed. 2,907 cases are due to be made.”
