Vintage: | 2021 |
---|---|
Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nThe 2021 \u2018La Carri\u00e8re\u2019 shimmers a lovely, soft yellow in the glass with an inviting blend of pear, brioche, and jasmine, leading to notes of yellow spring flowers and honeysuckle with a hint of vanilla custard. The creamy mouthfeel is supported by lively acidity and a dense mid-palate with ample gras. Lemon curd, pastry, and vanilla bean follow through to a focused, lengthy finish. The 2021 \u2018La Carri\u00e8re\u2019 can be enjoyed early but will continue to expand for more than a decade.\r\nRobert Parker 95 Points \r\nWine Spectator 95 Points\r\nAbout Peter Michael\r\nLa Carri\u00e8re, French for \u2018the quarry,\u2019 aptly describes this vineyard\u2019s bowl shape and its tremendously rocky soils. Situated between 1,200 and 1,700 feet above sea level on steep mountain slopes exceeding forty percent in grade, the vineyard has ideal southern and southeastern exposures. The vineyard\u2019s shallow rocky soils provide excellent drainage, low fertility and usually the lowest yields on the estate. La Carri\u00e8re, with its concentrated \u2018liquid minerality,\u2019 effectively reflects its mountainous origin. |
