The Winery

Morlet Family Vineyards

“Morlet, who hails from the Champagne region of France, is on a hot streak in terms of the quality of the exquisite wines he’s producing/ This is an extraordinary lineup of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir, and possibly the finest 100% Cabernet Franc ever made in California, his Force de la Nature.”
–Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Jodie and Luc Morlet, whose family owns Pierre Morlet & Fils in Champagne, founded their own wine estate in St. Helena, California in 2006. Ever since then they have been producing countless vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. They have specialized in taking winemaking techniques from the Old World and adapting them to California’s terroir. The result is intense, rich, and complex wines that have the utmost refinement and are served at the most prestigious tables and shared by wine connoisseurs and collectors.

Tasting Notes

WA94
The 2011 Chardonnay Ma Douce is an unfiltered white made from a vineyard on the second ridge line on the Sonoma Coast planted with an Old Wente clone in Goldridge soils. Its stunning perfume of buttered citrus, popcorn, white currants and honeysuckle fill the olfactory senses. It is followed by a full-bodied wine with terrific acidity, power and richness. This vineyard is planted at a 1,300 foot elevation, way above the fog line in that area. Like most 2011s, it will probably last over five years, but I recommend drinking it on the early side as I am not sure this is a vintage to cellar.
