It produces a range of single-vineyard wines from Napa Valley and Sonoma County, from the area's key grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. The estate was founded by Jodie and Luc Morlet, whose family owns Pierre Morlet \u0026amp; Fils in Champagne, France. The estate consists of vineyards in Oakville, St. Helena, and Knights Valley, and has long-terrm contracts with vineyards in Fort Ross-Seaview, Russian River Valley, Bennett Valley, Dry Creek and Napa Valley. Each site is planted to the grape varieties that respond best to the individual terroir. Morlet's approach to winemaking is minimalist and Old World in style, using classical techniques from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne. The grapes are picked by hand, then destemmed and double-sorted when they reach the St. Helena winery. Native yeasts carry out the fermentation process, and wines are aged in French oak barrels before release. Morlet Family Vineyard's wines are sold through mailing list and in high-profile restaurants around the world. Top-rated wines from the estate include the white Bordeaux-style blend La Proportion Dorée, the Bouquet Garni Syrah, the Coeur de Vallée Cabernet Sauvignon. There are also multiple expressions of Pinot Noir from the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-23T12:41:35-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-16T16:43:23-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK1601","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Morlet Family Vineyards","Region_California","Source_CanaWine0123","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Sauvignon Blanc","Varietal_Semillon"],"price":117700,"price_min":117700,"price_max":117700,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42682718060682,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2009 | Morlet Family Vineyards | La Proportion Doree","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":117700,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/29_b2616a1c-b488-4074-bc2b-2427a2b19a96.jpg?v=1673905578"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/29_b2616a1c-b488-4074-bc2b-2427a2b19a96.jpg?v=1673905578","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2009 | Morlet Family Vineyards | La Proportion Doree at CaskCartel.com","id":23984839360650,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.398,"height":1162,"width":463,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/29_b2616a1c-b488-4074-bc2b-2427a2b19a96.jpg?v=1673905578"},"aspect_ratio":0.398,"height":1162,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/29_b2616a1c-b488-4074-bc2b-2427a2b19a96.jpg?v=1673905578","width":463}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2009 | Morlet Family Vineyards | La Proportion Doree\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2017 Pinot Noir Joli Coeur is wonderfully complete and balanced, with complexity, elegance, and power all present in this thrilling bottle of wine.
