Product Description
RP98+ The 2021 Chardonnay Cuvée Indigène is a barrel selection of some of the best blocks from across the Peter Michael property and was matured in barrel for 15 months, a touch longer than the single-vineyard wines. It has pure, alluring scents of white peach, fresh quince, meringue, flint and citrusy top notes, and each return to the glass reveals deeper aromatic nuances. The palate is incredibly seamless, its silky texture and bright acidity striking an effortless balance. It has a concentrated core of highly perfumed fruit—deep yet weightless—and finishes with stunning definition and layering. Young yet obviously world-class, this Chardonnay has tremendous aging potential and may reach a "perfect" apex in time. 550 cases were made.
LP98 The 2021 Cuvee Indigene requires considerable swirling before notes of apricots, honeydew melons, and spiced apples jump from the glass, plus wafts of almond croissant, fennel seed, and wet slate. The medium to full-bodied palate is full-on gorgeous, with layer upon layer of savory, spice, and stone fruit flavors, supported by just enough freshness, finishing long and opulent.
