Product Description
RP100 "Coup de Coeur is a barrel-selection blend of Morlet's Chardonnay vineyards, using exclusively Old Wente clone selection. The 2018 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur needs a little coaxing to reveal a spectacularly complex nose of orange blossoms, ripe pears, peach cobbler and lime leaves with nuances of oyster shells, struck flint and cashews. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers layer upon layer of citrus, stone fruit and minerally flavors with a racy line of freshness and silken texture, finishing with amazing persistence. 175 cases were made." LPB for TWA Jan 2021
JD100 "The flagship 2018 Chardonnay Coup De Coeur is a tiny barrel selection put together by winemaker Luc Morlet. With just 175 cases produced, its deeper golden hue is followed by a powerful, full-bodied Chardonnay delivering killer notes of caramelized stone fruits, apricots, toasty oak, honeysuckle, and baking spices. With bright acidity, beautiful depth of fruit, and stunning balance, it's a blockbuster styled effort that stays pure, elegant, and weightless. It needs plenty of air if drinking any time soon, and as with all of these wines from Morlet, I was able to follow this for multiple days and it only improved with air. It will ideally be given a year or two of bottle age and is going to evolve for over a decade." JD Aug 2020
