2016 Morlet, Proportion Doree, Sonoma Coast 1x750ml

Vinous 94

Morlet’s 2016 Proportion Doree is gorgeous. Bright and focused in the glass, the 2016 offers a striking interplay of density and transparency. Orange peel, mint, wild flowers, ripe pear and chamomile are all laced together in this super-expressive white. The 2016 offers captivating balance and tons of sheer class.

"The 2016 La Proportion Doree is a blend of 67% Semillon, 32% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Muscadelle from 30+-year-old dry-farmed vines barrel fermented with batonnage. It comes strutting out of the glass like a total rock star, singing notes of ripe grapefruit, lemon meringue pie and white peaches with hints of beeswax, lime blossoms, candied ginger and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, the palate lends a seductively satiny texture with layer upon layer of citrus and stone fruit notions and a racy backbone to support, finishing on a long-lingering chalky note. 650 cases produced."
