This is a 1.5L, Magnum. 

Each vintage of Les Pierres reflects our Grand Cru approach. Hand-harvested grapes are kept cool to preserve fresh flavors and acidity. After hand-sorting, they are wholecluster pressed to avoid bitter tannins. The free-run juice naturally settles for 24 hours, then is racked and yeasted before fermenting in French oak barrels. The wine is barrel fermented on the lees in one-year-old oak for five months, then blended and aged in three-year-old oak. Bottled in December 2024, it was aged an additional six months before release.

TASTING

The palate is bright and juicy, showing lemon curd, lime, and mineral, layered with toasted nuts, tamarind, and sweet oak spice.

COMPOSITION

100% Chardonnay

FERMENTATION

100% Malolactic Oak Breakdown

Winemaker Information
WINEMAKING
The 2023 harvest for Sonoma-Cutrer, starting later than usual, and benefited from record winter rains that revitalized the soils and promoted healthy vine growth. Cooler spring and summer temperatures allowed for gradual grape development and extended ripening, ensuring optimal maturity. As October brought warm, dry weather, the grapes reached perfect ripeness. This combination of ample water, cool growing conditions, and a warm finish resulted in a 2023 vintage with exceptional balance, complexity, and depth of flavor.
VINEYARD

The Les Pierres Vineyard sits atop the gravelly clay loam of an ancient riverbed, thick with cobbled stones that infuse the grapes – and the wine – with a varied mineral essence. The rocks absorb sunlight and slowly release heat to the vines. When combined with the cool fog that tempers the warm Sonoma Valley temperature, the result is a long growing season that allows the fruit to ripen and reach full maturation.
