Winemaker Notes
his wine comes from our newest vineyard on the Peter Michael estate-La Carriere. This name, the French word for "the quarry", aptly describes both the land's bowl shape and its soils with their multiple layers of rocks. At elevations between 1600 and 1800 feet, and on slopes approaching forty percent, the vineyard has ideal southern and southeastern exposures. The vineyard is influenced by cooling marine breezes and has soils that are shallow, providing low fertility-factors advantageous in producing world-class Chardonnay.
In making clonal selections for La Carrière, our goal was to produce a wine whose flavors would be accentuated by exceptional high-toned mineral aspects and elegance. We selected the Dijon clones from Burgundy because they possess the multi-dimensional complexity desired for making such a wine.
