Wine Information: Open and intense, this wine is indeed a true pleasure, displaying an exquisite bouquet of lemon cream, candied pineapple and honey as well as tropical fruits such as guava and mango. The palate is rich, full-bodied and creamy with beautiful fresh lemon, golden delicious apple, brioche and mineral notes. Hints of pain grillé and hazelnut complete the long final mouth feel of this wine. Mon Plaisir has been produced since 1987 from a vineyard located in the hills above Alexander Valley. The cool and low yielding vineyard enhances the extracted perfume that makes Mon Plaisir a rare single vineyard designation. This year, long alcoholic and malolactic fermentations allowed us to develop even further its intense and complex bouquet, as well as a round and very 'gras' mouthfeel. Bud break came early for Chardonnay in 2003 – the first week of March. Cold, stormy weather extended bud break into April. Though berry set was excellent, bloom was especially long, causing some irregular ripening patterns later in the season. By the end of June, the vineyard crew began hand thinning the crop to ensure even quality. The summer weather was consistent and warm, permitting a long and controlled harvest through September and the beginning of October. 100% naturally fermented using native yeast. 100% barrel fermented (French oak from selected artisan coopers). Barrel aged sur lies for 11 months with weekly bâtonnage. Alcohol: 14.8%
