Each vintage of Les Pierres exemplifies our Grand Cru approach to winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested in shallow bins to ensure they arrive at the winery in perfect condition. This Chardonnay dazzles with its beautiful pale straw color as it catches the light in your glass. Classic Les Pierres aromas unfold, featuring lemon zest, wet stone and key lime pie, intertwined with citrus blossom and bright lemon curd. Mineral notes are enhanced by a touch of light cedary oak, baking spices and a hint of hazelnut. 

TASTING

On the palate, bright citrus-laced acidity melds seamlessly with the oak integration, offering flavors of lime, mineral, roasted nuts and sweet spices.

COMPOSITION

100% Chardonnay

FERMENTATION

100% Malolactic Oak Breakdown

Winemaker Information
WINEMAKING
After a promising growing season last fall, the first three months of the year were the driest on record. Careful monitoring of the vine needs and soil moisture got us through the season. A late August warm up moved harvest rapidly into high gear. Then came the typical Labor Day weekend heat, but the vines handled it well. Two weeks later, the weather roller coaster continued with some modest rain. The lower than average crop played in our favor for both the weather events. The Les Pierres Vineyard sits atop the gravelly clay loam of an ancient riverbed, thick with cobbled stones that infuse the grapes – and the wine – with a varied mineral essence.
VINEYARD

The Les Pierres Vineyard sits atop the gravelly clay loam of an ancient riverbed, thick with cobbled stones that infuse the grapes – and the wine – with a varied mineral essence. The rocks absorb sunlight and slowly release heat to the vines. When combined with the cool fog that tempers the warm Sonoma Valley temperature, the result is a long growing season that allows the fruit to ripen and reach full maturation.
