Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
True to its name, the wine is indeed a pleasure: intense and perfumed. Mon Plaisir 2013 displays an exquisite bouquet of lemon cream, fresh butter and candied grapefruit, with subtle notes of spring flowers. The palate is rich, full-bodied and creamy with beautiful hints of fresh lemons, pear, grapefruit, jasmine, Mirabelle, vanilla, whole nut and brioche. A mineral character with hints of pain grille and hazelnut complete the mouth feel of this wine and its long finish. Enjoyable now, it will age for a decade and more.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir offers up notes of nectarine, citrus blossom, white peach, honeysuckle, orange marmalade, brioche and tropical fruits. The wine has fabulous fruit that clearly justifies its French name, which means "My Pleasure." Drink it over the next 7-10 years.

Wine Spectator
Firm and vibrant, with a tight mix of green apple, citrus, nectarine and tangerine flavors, shaded by light toasty oak. Ending with touches of spice, honeydew and honeysuckle. Drink now through 2020.

In 1982 Sir Peter and Lady Margaret Michael built the Peter Michael Winery on a square mile of rocky volcanic ridges that form the western face of Mount St. Helena in Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California. The estate vineyards rest on steep hillsides ranging in elevation from 1100 to nearly 2000 feet. Of the nearly 600 estate acres, only about 20% are planted to grapes. Peter Michael Winery is best known for single-vineyard and estate grown Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The Peter Michael Winery remains true to its commitment to growing classic grape varieties in small mountain vineyards in order to produce great wines using classical winemaking techniques. Given this covenant to the product, only a limited quantity will ever be available.
