For those who have them in bottle, the final ratings for the 2002 Chardonnays are as follows: Belle Côte (96), La Carrière (97), Cuvée Indigène (95), Ma Belle Fille (96), Mon Plaisir (94), and Point Rouge (98).
The production of the 2002 Chardonnay Point Rouge has nearly doubled (260 cases). One of California’s two or three most extraordinary Chardonnays, it boasts great intensity, huge body, and massive fruit as well as impeccable balance and purity. It offers up honeysuckle, orange marmalade, and sweet, oily citrus notes along with pinpoint precision, good acidity, tremendous purity, and a massive finish that lasts 35-40 seconds. It is a remarkable effort.
