Morlet Family Vineyards Description
On the river bench of Sonoma Country’s Russian River, this vineyard benefitsfrom Goldridge soil containing metamorphic rock. The cuttings come from the Old Wente field selection, renowned for excellent quality and minerality. Its concentration originates from the typically petite size of the berries. Handcrafted using classical Burgundian winemaking techniques, this wine is dedicated to our daughter, Claire Morlet. It is ‘My Princess’ or ‘Ma Princesse.’
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
Sourced from the justly famed Ritchie Vineyard, Morlet's 2021 Chardonnay Ma Princesse features a big, wonderfully expressive nose bursting with scents of ripe melon, pear and pineapple. It's full-bodied and opulent, ripe and weighty, but it marries that to amazing drive and energy on the long, harmonious finish.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2021 Chardonnay Ma Princesse is racy and super-expressive right out of the gate. Lemon confit, marzipan, passionfruit and sweet spice are beautifully layered. There's lovely mid- palate oiliness and texture here, along with plenty of richness, but no excess weight. This is the most overt of Luc and Jodie Morlet's Chardonnays.
