2018 Peter Michael Winery Belle Cote Chardonnay Knights Valley Sonoma

Peter Michael’s 2018 Belle Côte Chardonnay Knights Valley belongs in the company of your Montrachets and Meursaults—it’s structured as finely as the best whites of Burgundy, and will age accordingly. Grown on the sunny but cool 1,500-1,700-foot Belle Côte site, it shows exquisite minerality from the rocky volcanic soils, which are planted with thirty-year-old See, Old Wente, and Rued clones. Showing the grace of a once-in-a-lifetime vintage, this wine earned a near-perfect 97-99-point score out of the tank from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, who raved about both its power and precision, and testified that it “should age incredibly!” A true Chardonnay showpiece for your cellar.
