The Morlet Family Vineyards Chardonnay Coup de Coeur 2019, presented in a 1.5L magnum, is a luxurious white wine from California’s Sonoma County, crafted by Luc Morlet as a barrel selection from Ritchie and Ma Douce vineyards. This 2019 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of dried apricot, lemon curd, and white peach, with hints of toasted almond, vanilla, and subtle minerality. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, elegant finish with a touch of oaky complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the cool-climate terroir of Sonoma. The magnum format enhances its aging potential, making it ideal for collectors. Perfect with lobster, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses, it offers a sophisticated dining experience. With over five years of aging, it is at its peak but can evolve over the next 10-15 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Coup de Coeur showcases Morlet’s mastery of crafting iconic California whites with elegance and depth.
