WINE DESCRIPTION

Morlet Family Vineyards La Proportion Dorée is a remarkable white wine blend crafted by the esteemed Morlet Family Vineyards in Sonoma County, California. The wine is a harmonious blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle, sourced from seven distinct vineyards. The vineyards feature old vines ranging from 25 to 60 years old and diverse soil compositions ranging from loamy to gravelly. The grapes are handpicked in multiple passes, undergo cluster-by-cluster sorting, and ferment in barrels using native yeast. The wine is aged for 10 months in French oak barrels from artisan coopers. La Proportion Dorée exhibits a bright yellow color with an intense bouquet of candied lemon, muscat, and honeysuckle, complemented by flavors of ripened apricot and fresh quince. With its full-bodied, seamless, and refined profile, it showcases the complexity and elegance inspired by the Golden Ratio.
