Each vintage of Les Pierres exemplifies our Grand Cru approach to winemaking.
Grapes are hand-harvested in shallow bins to ensure they arrive at the winery in
perfect condition. While fruit awaits sorting, grapes are kept cool to preserve the
fruit’s fresh flavors and natural acidity. After hand-sorting, the grapes are wholecluster pressed to avoid bitter tannins. The cool, golden-green, free-run juice settles
naturally in tanks for 24 hours and is racked and yeasted before heading to French
oak barrels for fermentation. One hundred percent of the vintage is barrel-fermented
on the lees in one-year-old oak for five months. Individual block components are then
blended to create the cuvée and placed in three-year-old oak for additional aging.
Bottled on December 4th, 2019 the wine was bottle-aged for an additional twelve
months before releasing.
Les Pierres is a beautiful, pale straw color with green hues that catch the light. This
particular vintage of Les Pierres is a little richer and fuller. Rich aromatic notes of lime
zest, lemon meringue pie, sweet baking spices and lemon curd greet your senses as
you swirl the wine in your glass. As you sip the wine, you will notice the characteristic
mineral flavors mingling with sweet oak, lightly toasted nuts and pie crust. This
wine is beautifully balanced with Sonoma-Cutrer’s signature citrus-laced acidity
showcasing nice oak integration along with melon and lime fruits. An elegant, creamy
wine on the palate, it dissolves to a long, lingering spice finish
