ABOUT THIS WINE
Morlet La Proportion Dorée White 2019 is a white wine from Sonoma County, California, crafted by Morlet Family Vineyards. The wine's name, 'La Proportion Dorée,' translates to 'The Golden Ratio,' reflecting its balanced blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle. Founded by Luc and Jodie Morlet, the winery upholds a philosophy of creating 'vins de terroir' by drawing upon Luc's fifth-generation winemaking heritage from Champagne and applying meticulous, low-intervention techniques. The grapes are sourced from Sonoma County vineyards, with vines ranging from 50 to 100 years old, and the winemaking is inspired by the traditions of Pessac-Léognan. The 2019 vintage specifically features 69% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle.
