Tasting notes
Even more expressive than the 2021 was at this stage of its development, Morlet's 2022 La Proportion Doree boasts expansive aromas of spring flowers, candied lemon, ripe fig and hints of honeycomb. A barrel-fermented blend of 65% Sémillon, 34% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Muscadelle, it's medium to full-bodied, bold and concentrated on the palate, with a long, lingering and elegant finish. A terrific wine that should age well for at least 15 years, it can give the best white Bordeaux a run for their money.

Pouring a richer hue of yellow, the 2022 La Proportion Doree is a blend of 65% Semillon, 34% Sauvignon Blanc, and a splash of Muscadelle from vines over 30 years old on dry-farmed soils. In the cellar, it was fermented and raised in French oak. In the glass, it takes on a good deal of layered intensity, with the nose revealing decadent notes of melon, pineapple rind, candle wax, tropical flowers, and salted grapefruit. Full-bodied, it offers a more rounded and viscous feel of citrus oils coating the palate through a long finish, and it’s reminiscent of outstanding Bordeaux Blanc. Drink 2025-2035. 800 cases were produced.
