The 2022 Presqu'ile, Chardonnay Santa Barbara was a Merchant's Pick
BEYOND CHARDONNAY • "I'D BE THRILLED TO DRINK A BOTTLE."
January 31, 2024
Pres'quile's winemaker, Dieter Conje, is famous for his collectible Gevrey-Chambertins. On this side of the hemisphere, his Santa Barbara Chardonnay is turning heads. The wine transcends California and rivals some of the finest Chardonnay in the wine world!
His wines are stunning and known for elegance, balance, and purity of expression. His 2022 Presqu'ile "breaks the mold, and you have not tried all California has to offer until you've tasted it!" Steven Bedrosian
Minimal intervention is the name of the game!
Presqu'ile Chardonnay has everything you could want in a Chardonnay. The fruit is mouth-watering; the acidity is crisp and mineral-driven; the finish has a spine of delicate white flowers. On entry, you are treated to stone fruit, peach, pear, and green apple notes. Soft cedar accents run through the finish. Absolutely fantastic! I can not recommend this wine enough to all Chardonnay lovers and white wine drinkers alike." Steven Bedrosian
A Glass Of Chardonnay You Won't Put Down
Very little to no oak is present in the wine, which is not typical of California Chardonnay. Just great quality grapes. The fruit speaks for itself. The wine is both classic and contemporary, reflecting the best of both Burgundy and California.
A truly special Chardonnay from Santa Barbara, be sure to grab some Presqu'ile for everyday enjoyment, your favorite salad or seafood dishes, or chicken Milanese.
You will not be disappointed.
Enjoy!
"Beautifully balanced Chardonnay with tons to love. It's not over-the-top rich or too serious, but it has terrific purity and I'd be thrilled to drink a bottle." Jeb Dunnuck
