Morlet Family Vineyards Ma Douce Sonoma County Chardonnay 2020

97+ Points Parker                                                          Morlet makes some of the most coveted wines in Sonoma and all of California. These are some of the top-scoring wines of the vintage. Limited. 96 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lots of white peach, quince, white flower, and green almond notes emerge from the 2020 Chardonnay Ma Douce, a full-bodied barrel sample with beautiful depth as well as freshness." 93 Points Robert Parker: "From a vineyard in the Fort Ross-Seaview area—on the second ridge inland from the ocean, at about 1300-1400 feet above sea level, the Morlet 2020 Chardonnay Ma Douce was barrel fermented using indigenous yeasts in about 25% new French oak. Scents of pastry crust accent nectarine and citrus fruit on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is bright, vibrant and crisp, with a lingering finish." In St. Helena, the heart of the Napa Valley, Luc and Jodie Morlet handcraft vins de terroirs and unique cuvées from the surrounding Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. Meticulously farmed vineyards and low-intervention winemaking techniques produce powerful yet refined wines displaying personality, complexity and graceful aging capability. By taking Old World principles and adapting them to California, the Morlet style results in wines which are harmonious in their intensity, richness and refinement. Unwavering commitment to quality leads to small yields, attentive sorting, and the highest standard when blending. Thus, a very limited amount of each wine is produced.
