2016 Morlet F.V. White Blend La Proportion Dorée 0,75 Liter

The Morlet Family Vineyards La Proportion Dorée 2016 is an elegant white blend from California’s Sonoma County, crafted by Luc Morlet from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. This 2016 vintage displays a deep gold hue and a complex nose of dried apricot, honey, and citrus zest, with hints of toasted almond, herbs, and subtle minerality. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of oaky complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the cool-climate terroir of Sonoma, delivering a Pessac-Léognan-inspired white with depth and finesse. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. With nearly a decade of aging, it is at its peak, showcasing mature, honeyed notes, and is best enjoyed now. This La Proportion Dorée is a collector’s treasure, embodying Morlet’s expertise in crafting world-class California whites with elegance and power.
