Belle Cote, "Beautiful Slope," the first estate-grown Chardonnay offered by Peter Michael Winery.

Very intense and powerfully hedonistic aromas of lychee nuts, citrus, rose petal and orange blossom, with a background of mineral, bergamot orange, candied orange, yellow peach, nutmeg, whole nut and toasted almond. Notes of brioche and pain grille coupled with crisp natural acidity complete the mouth feel.

The wine is already expressive and will continue to develop for at least a decade.
