MORLET CHARD MA DOUCE '16
MORLET CHARDONNAY "MA DOUCE", FORT ROSS-SEAVIEW 2016NVWE Notes: Gorgeously rich and notably Puligny-Montrachet-like, the nose of this terrific Chardonnay layers scents of sweet baked apple, nectarine, white peach, dried golden fig, lemon curd, orange blossom, vanilla wafer, honey and hazelnut nougat above chalky mineral underpinnings. The flavors are a grander mirror of the aromas, rolling-out with chiseled focus and impressive intensity, yet the lingering finish is rendered stony-dry by both mineral undercurrents and the wine's classic white Burgundy-style balance. Certain to improve for several more years, it is a hedonistic delight already. 650 cases produced.
