Score 98/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2017

Aromas of dried apple, pear, pineapple and hints of stone. Hints of lightly toasted oak. Full body, layered and rich with lots of fruit and intensity. Savory and intense. A white wine with red wine texture. Always top. Drink or hold.

The 2014 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir shows more Meursault-like smokiness, roasted hazelnuts, with hints of citrus oil, poached pear, tropical pineapple and brioche. It is a big, hefty Chardonnay to drink over the next decade.

Peter Michael’s 2014 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir wraps around the palate with gorgeous depth and textural richness, two of its principal signatures. Candied lemon, succulent apricot and spice notes meld into the creamy, voluptuous finish. This south/south-east facing site at 1,600 feet planted with old Wente clone Chardonnay yields distinctly ample wines.
