The 2023 “Petit Pont” is our “Little Bridge”. Made from young vines, this delightful wine serves as the perfect bridge to our vineyard designate chardonnays. The vineyard, only 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean, is comprised of an unusually powdery white Goldridge soil. The pale, friable soil provides excellent drainage and just enough nutrients for the densely planted vines to ripen a small amount of intensely aromatic and flavorful Chardonnay.
The vines sit above above Occidental on the remote Sonoma Coast. This remote site is surrounded by pines. Hawks fly overhead and you sense the ocean nearby. The terroir has an undeniable influence on the character of the resulting wine. A favorable blend of influences of the cold Pacific fog and warm afternoon sun produces a wine of precision, charm, and precise balance. The young vines are all French clones, which produce delicious, energetic wine. To preserve this fresh quality, the wine was naturally fermented in neutral three year old French oak. Un-fined and unfiltered, 45 cases were produced.
It's fresh, vibrant tension, reminiscent of young Chablis, did not warrant any lees stirring during élévage. You will find notes of creme fraiche, brioche, and subtle scents of lemon blossoms. The finish resonates with charm and grace. It is exactly what we look for to begin a relaxing evening. Drink now as the perfect aperitif, with seafood or hamachi crudo or a full bag of Torres Olive Oil potato chips (highly recommended).
