Peter Michael “La Carrière” Chardonnay
One of Peter Michael’s most revered vineyard-designate Chardonnays, La Carrière (meaning “the quarry”) hails from steep, rocky slopes on the Knights Valley estate. The shallow volcanic soils and cool mountain climate produce fruit of exceptional tension and minerality. Fermented and aged in French oak, it opens with aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, crushed stone, and hazelnut. The palate is focused and crystalline, balancing richness with precision and a chalky, saline finish that lingers with elegance and power. A true icon of California Chardonnay craftsmanship.
