Tasting notes
The 2014 Chardonnay Ma Princesse, from Ritchie, is lush, rich and inviting. Apricot jam, white flowers, mint, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes are nicely delineated. Creamy and voluptuous, with striking Russian River oiliness, the 2014 offers notable personality and class.

The 2014 Chardonnay Ma Princesse has a medium-golden color, is earthy, structured and backward. It was fabulous last year from cask, but has gone into a somewhat dormant state while still showing loads of honeysuckle, nectarine, brioche and citrus oil. It just needs a year or two of bottle age, which has been my experience with Morlet Chardonnays, to open up and strut its stuff. There is tremendous upside to this Chardonnay.
