In the Golden State's Sonoma County, this cuvée harmoniously blends the three classic white Bordeaux varietals, crafted with techniques inspired by Pessac-Léognan. A bright yellow hue introduces an intense bouquet of candied lemon, muscat, and honeysuckle, with sweet apricot and quince notes. Full-bodied, seamless, and refined, this wine embodies the Morlet style: intense yet harmonious, rich, and complex.

The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc La Proportion Dorée is 69% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle. It’s a deeper, richer white with notes of honeyed toast, white fig, lemon meringue, and chalky minerality. This full-bodied, powerful effort will shine on the dinner table and should have an interesting evolution over the coming 15+ years.
