Peter Michael Point Rouge Chardonnay is the most exclusive expression of Chardonnay from Peter Michael Winery, crafted from meticulously selected barrels representing the pinnacle of the vintage. Sourced from the esteemed Belle Côte, La Carrière, and Alexander Mountain Estate vineyards, it is aged for 16 months sur lie in French oak, resulting in exceptional concentration, richness, and elegance.
The bouquet reveals enticing aromas of apricot, citrus, honeysuckle, and acacia blossom, enriched by notes of vanilla, almond, and fine minerality. On the palate, it is opulent and creamy, with layers of ripe fruit and subtle oak seamlessly merging into a long, rounded finish.
Point Rouge is a wine of remarkable depth and sophistication, created to impress today and to evolve into a magnificent experience with years of cellaring.
