[ Home > Clos Pegase Chardonnay Mitsuko Vineyard 2007 ]
Clos Pegase's heritage clones form the core of the blend at 50% - Wente for weight and acidity, Atlas Peak for tropical notes, and Rued for lifted aromatics. Second in significance are the Dijon Clones; broad, rich and complex, in the blend at 45% this year. Lastly, 5% comes from the elegant and tropical California Clone 4. The result of this blend, while 100% Chardonnay, is a wine of great intensity, yet elegance and balance. On the nose, nectarine, peach and lemon-lime notes are deftly balanced with complex yet integrated charry and toasted French oak. The palate is luscious, vibrant and elegant with great opulence and a rich, long finish. |
