Morlet Chardonnay Coup de Coeur

California

The 2022 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur, picked before the heat event, was tasted as a barrel sample 2-3 weeks before bottling. It features gregarious scents of apple butter, juicy nectarines, and persimmons giving way to decadent touches of allspice, anise, and ginger ale with a touch of crumbled cashews. The medium to full-bodied palate vibrates with energetic apple and tropical fruit layers, supported by a racy line and wonderfully creamy texture, finishing with epic length.

The 2021 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur opens with intense lemon curd, yuzu, and fresh grapefruit notes, yet needs a little swirling to unlock the evocative undercurrent of sea spray, lime leaves, nutmeg, and toasted almonds with a waft of beeswax. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound with electric citrus and baking spice notes and a crisp line of freshness to support, finishing with epic length and depth. So delicious now, but give it a good 4-5 years in the bottle to really spread its wings.
