2014 Morlet, Chardonnay Coup Coeur, Sonoma Coast 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95+

The 2014 Chardonnay Coup De Coeur is always a selection of the best barrels of Chardonnay in the cellar. The 2014 has a breathtaking nose of honeyed tropical fruits, apple blossom, citrus oil, a hint of marmalade and subtle toast. It is full-bodied and rich with great acidity and considerable structure built-in with vibrant acidity and natural energy. This is a beauty, but I suggest patience of a year or so before enjoying it over the following decade or more. [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 28/09/2017]

Morlet’s 2014 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur is a selection of the best barrels from both sites. Here the flavors are a bit richer and riper than in the two other wines. Candied lemon peel, orange zest, honey, apricot and tropically leaning fruits run through this expressive, creamy Chardonnay. [Antonio Galloni, 30/03/2017]
