2020 Morlet F.V. Chardonnay Coup de Coeur 0,75 Liter

The Morlet Family Vineyards Chardonnay Coup de Coeur 2020 is a prestigious white wine from California’s Sonoma County, crafted by Luc Morlet as a barrel selection from Ritchie and Ma Douce vineyards. This 2020 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe peach, lemon zest, and white flowers, with hints of brioche, flint, and subtle oak. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of toasty complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the cool-climate terroir of Sonoma, delivering a Burgundian-style Chardonnay with depth and finesse. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. Rated highly by critics, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 7-10 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Coup de Coeur is a collector’s treasure, showcasing Morlet’s expertise in crafting world-class California whites with elegance and power.
