2021 Peter Michael 'Belle Cote' Chardonnay, Knights Valley white and tensionIntense orange blossom, lemon custard, and jasmine burst from the glass of the 2021 Belle Cte. This highly aromatic bouquet continues with rose petals and lychee underlain by orange marmalade bass notes. The rich entry and dense mid palate show the depth created by our oldest Chardonnay vines.
