Peter Michael Cuvee Indigene Estate Chardonnay 2016

Peter Michael Cuvee Indigene Estate Chardonnay 2016

The 2016 Cuvee Indigene leads with an intense and expressive nose of brioche, mineral, peach blossom, candied orange, mangosteen, lemon oil, yellow peach and dried apricot. Notes of vanilla, toasted hazelnut, meringue and subtle white truffle interact to complete a multi-layered and very intense bouquet. In the mouth, the texture is ample and creamy, displaying ample  "grass" and balanced with a lingering mineral finish. Approachable now, the wine will reward several years of cellaring and continue to develop for two decades, much like its Burgundian cousins from Corton-Charlemagne.

Critical Acclaim

99 Jeb Dunnuck

Another gorgeous effort, the 2016 Chardonnay Cuvée Indigène offers awesome stone fruits, spice, crushed rocks, and white flower aromas and flavors. Possessing full-bodied richness, a seamless, elegant, silky texture, no hard edges, vibrant acidity, and a huge finish, it's a tour de force in Chardonnay that I wish every reader could taste. It’s as good as anything out there today.

98 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2016 Chardonnay Cuvee Indigene offers up exuberant green mango, white peach and lemon zest notes with touches of cashews, lightly browned toast and white blossoms. The medium-bodied palate fills the mouth with mouthwatering perfumed citrus flavors, which are complemented by the silken texture, finishing on a chalky note. To be bottled in February 2018; 530 cases are expected.
