Morlet Family Vineyards ‘Ma Douce’ 2021

“With a stunning and intense bouquet of fresh white flowers, apple skin, notes of pastry and hints of graphite, the multi-layered 2021 ‘Ma Douce’ Chardonnay is rich, concentrated and creamy. Full-bodied, with candied pear and a lot a gras, this seamless and well-integrated Chardonnay is very smooth from beginning to end and boasts a beautifully long finish.” Luc Morlet, Winemaker Notes, Jan. 2023

This unique Sonoma Coast vineyard is situated on the second ridge from the Pacific Ocean and is comprised of Goldridge soil. The vines benefit from both the cool maritime breeze (douce brise) and the mild and sunny mountain climate. Handcrafted using classical Burgundian winemaking techniques, this wine is dedicated to my wife, Jodie Morlet. It is ‘My Sweet’ or ‘Ma Douce.’
