Les Pierres Vineyard

2022 Chardonnay

Les Pierres Vineyard

2022 Chardonnay

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. On the palate, bright citrus-laced acidity melds seamlessly with the oak integration, offering flavors of lime, mineral, roasted nuts and sweet spices. The wine boasts a medium-plus finish, making it a fantastic food wine that pairs excellently with ceviche, halibut, and sushi.

About this Wine

Les Pierres Vineyard

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.

Tasting wine begins well before the liquid ever touches your lips – it starts with a look, a swirl, and an intake of breath. The swirl serves to open your vintage and introduces oxygen which creates a bouquet of aromas and allows you to gauge viscosity and alcohol content. Our Les Pierres’ swirl showcases its beautiful straw coloring indicative of a well-crafted Chardonnay and highlights aromas of citrus, mineral notes, and spice that integrate nicely with grapefruit and lime.

Appellation

Les Pierres

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.
