The 2021 Chardonnay Ma Princesse comes from the Ritchie Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, which is planted to the old Wente clone of Chardonnay and produces small clusters with tiny little berries. In the glass, the wine reveals notes of preserved citrus, wet stone, wildflowers, vanilla bean spice, and fresh pear. Medium to full-bodied, it’s more linear in feel, with more citrus on the palate, although it retains beautiful, fresh, floral notes through its long finish. It carries fantastic tension, concentration, and elegance, with persistent energy driving the wine.

Sourced from the justly famed Ritchie Vineyard, Morlet's 2021 Chardonnay Ma Princesse features a big, wonderfully expressive nose bursting with scents of ripe melon, pear and pineapple. It's full-bodied and opulent, ripe and weighty, but it marries that to amazing drive and energy on the long, harmonious finish.
