2013 Peter Michael Coeur a Coeur
Coeur à Coeur translates to “Heart to Heart” in French. As with
L’Après-Midi, this fruit is grown alongside our Les Pavots Bordeaux
red varietals at 1,400 feet on the west side of Mount St. Helena. The
subsoil is rocky, volcanic Rhyolite covered by a silt alluvium. The
grapes are picked and sorted by hand, whole cluster pressed and
naturally fermented in oak barrels. No malolactic fermentation was
conducted in order to preserve the vibrancy of flavors and fragranc-
es. Both varietals were aged separately on their lees for eight to nine
months with gentle bâtonnage before assembly of the final cuvée.

The profound 2013 Proprietary White Coeur à Coeur is an equal part blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Abundant notes of pineapples, mangoes, honeysuckle, candle wax, ripe, juicy, buttery melons and citrus emerge from this deep, full-bodied white. It is ideal for accompanying a big, intensely flavored, grilled fish such as wild-caught salmon. Drink now-2023.
If one considers the total production of all the Peter Michael cuvées (which must be approaching 30,000 cases) and the diversity of their wines, including six cuvées of Chardonnay, four of Pinot Noir, three Bordeaux blends, and lastly Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, Peter Michael Winery may be the best-run winery of its size for world-class quality. There has been a succession of brilliant minds and craftspeople who have gone through these doors, from the early days with Helen Turley and Mark Aubert, to Luc Morlet and now his brother, Nicolas Morlet. Having followed these wines for nearly two decades, they seem to go from strength to strength, and the 2012s and 2013s may be the finest group of wines Peter Michael has ever produced. This is indeed high praise!
By the way, kudos to Sir Peter Michael for making the cover of The Wine Spectator, a long overdue recognition of his accomplishments.
