2009 Morlet Family Chardonnay Coup de Coeur

Out of stock

International Wine Cellar | Rating: 95
(15.4% alcohol; a selection of the best barrels from Morlet's two chardonnay sources; he looks for |complexity, ageability and seamlessness, not necessarily for power|): Bright yellow-gold. Complex aromas of orange, honey, minerals, coconut and vanilla. Wonderfully generous and glyceral: this really melts in your mouth. For all its concentration and plumpness, this is magically vibrant and firm. I like the fact that this wine is made with just one-third new look, like Morlet's other chardonnays. Finishes with palate-staining persistence.

The 2009 Chardonnay Coup De Coeur is all tangerine, mint, apricot jam and honey. There is no shortage of depth or concentration, but those qualities have been achieved with a loss of freshness, energy and length. Today, the 2009 Coup De Coeur comes across as heavy. The Coup de Coeur is a selection of the estate's best barrels, but when I taste this wine I am always inclined to think that less is more.
