Peter Michael Ma Belle-Fille Chardonnay 2017
Ma Belle-Fille was named as a tribute to Sir Peter’s daughter in law, mother of the third generation of the family. The fruit hails from the highest elevation on the estate, with cooling ocean influences.
The 2017 vintage is described by producer as “exotic vintage of Chardonnay with wines showing uncommon richness”, this of course will be balanced out by the elevation and cooling influence of Ma Belle-Fille. The wine is full or exotic fruit with pasty notes balanced by a mouthwatering minerality.
Peter Michael
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. The winery currently produce around fifteen wines using four varietals - Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Consistency and quality are the watchwords 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 excess - ripe fruit abounds on the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir while the Cabernet Sauvignons have a density and concentration that many Bordelais would envy.
