Peter Michael Mon Plaisir Chardonnay 2016

Professional Ratings

• 97 James Suckling

  Superb aromas of citrus, white peaches, cooked apples and pie crust. Remains tight. Full-bodied, layered and beautiful with lemon curd and cream. Savory and succulent. So delicious now, but it will improve.

• 95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2016 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir opens out to bold notions of tropical fruits, ripe nectarines and pink grapefruit with hints of crushed rocks, white blossoms and cedar plus wafts of fresh ginger and yuzu zest. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is very elegant with a quiet intensity of citrus and stone fruit and a very long finish. 1,000 cases produced.

  All from the Old Wente clone, brought up in 50% new French oak, the 2016 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir offers slightly more tropical fruit as well as a more exotic, opulent, sexy style. Orange blossom, honeysuckle, white flowers, and tangerine notes all give way to a ripe, full-bodied, voluptuous Chardonnay that has both finesse and power.
• 91 Wine Spectator
  Tight and focused on a mix of green apple, green pear and light smoky oak flavors, marked by a pithy citrus texture that needs time. Drink now through 2023. 983 cases made.
