Peter Michael Ma Belle-Fille Chardonnay 2013

Knights Valley magic: lemon curd richness meets razor-sharp minerality.

Brilliant gold. Opens with concentrated lemon curd, brioche warmth threading through honeysuckle blossoms. White peach emerges, ripe but restrained. The mineral backbone cuts clean—limestone precision from Knights Valley's volcanic soils. Rich without excess. Creamy texture balanced by citrus brightness. Oak whispers, never shouts. Mid-palate builds complexity: toasted brioche, wet stone, orchard fruit. Finish extends endlessly. Honeyed notes fade to clean minerality. Perfect integration of fruit, oak, acid. This vintage captures Peter Michael's vision: power with elegance. Drink now for opulence or cellar five years for even greater integration. Remarkable Chardonnay.

🍷 You want Burgundian elegance with California fruit intensity and have a special celebration pending.
