Morlet Family Vineyards Billet Doux Late Harvest Alexander Valley White Wine 2014
2014 Morlet Family Vineyards ‘Billet Doux’ Late Harvest White Wine
Growing in the gravelly soil of an ancient riverbed in the beautiful Alexander Valley, the old vines benefit from hot afternoons and cool, foggy mornings, favorable for the development of Botrytis (Noble Rot). Extremely small yields in the Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat vineyards lead to the immensely concentrated fruit. Just as one receives a note from one’s sweetheart, we present this wine as a precious ‘Billet Doux’ or ‘Love Note.’
60% Sémillon 34% Sauvignon Blanc 6% Muscat à Petits Grains

A smoking good dessert wine, the 2014 ‘Billet Doux’ offers stunning notes of ripe quince, honeyed peach, toasted bread, and exotic flowers. It brings loads of richness and depth, yet always has a sense of purity and elegance, as well as lightness on the palate. It’s another gorgeous, sweet wine from Morlet that will stand up to some of the great Sauternes out there.
