2006 Peter Michael "Mon Plaisir" Knights Valley Chardonnay

Bid on this 5-bottle lot of 2006 Peter Michael "Mon Plaisir" Knights Valley Chardonnay (93DC, 92RP, 90ST, 90WS). Decanter: "Although the latest vintages of Mon Plaisir are sourced from the eponymous vineyard in Knights Valley, between 1987 and 2006 the fruit came from Gauer Ranch in northern Sonoma County (renamed Alexander Mountain Estate in 1995). The vines were planted in 1980 at altitudes of between 427m and 548m on soils composed of volcanic Kidd series and decomposed shale. An excellent pairing for Dayboat scallops with fresh herbs, this Chardonnay has an array of yellow flowers which dominate the aromatic landscape. A note of honey on the palate is joined by a savoury, salty tone and a chalky layer, culminating in a long, memorable finish. (ED)" (03/2019)
