2020 MICHAEL PETER CHARDONNAY BELLE COTE
"The 2020 Chardonnay Belle Côte, matured for 12 months in about 40% new French oak, explodes with singular aromas of ginger, lemongrass and Meyer lemon with streaks of flint and dried herbs. The medium-bodied palate is just as intense, offering highly concentrated fruit, seamless acidity, expansive, spicy flavors and a finish that goes on and on. Ultra concentrated and perfumed, the Belle Côte is especially expressive this vintage." Erin Brooks Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 98 points Drink 2023-30

More linear than la Carriere or Mon Plaisir this vintage, the 2020 Chardonnay Belle Cote boasts narcissus-like florals, white peaches, lime zest and toasted almond on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied and lush yet long and focused, with just a hint of mocha on the finish.

Shows salted butterscotch, peach and tangerine flavors that are polished and focused, with lemon blossom, poached pear and candied ginger notes on a plush, elegant frame. Features a fresh edge of acidity.

The 2020 Chardonnay Belle Côte is an attractive wine, but it also gives the impression of being not fully developed. Overall, the 2020 is raw, unpolished and simply lacking depth, which is not uncommon in this vintage. In 2020, the Belle Côte includes lots that would have typically been used for the Cuvée Indigene.
