Morlet La Proportion Doree 2015 (750ML)

96-100 RP / 98+ WA

A rarity, but exquisite, made from Haut-Brion clonal material, is the 2015 La Proportion Dorée, which is 66% Semillon and 32% Sauvignon Blanc. I gave the 2014 a perfect score and think the 2015 may merit one. An exquisite bouquet of candle wax, honeysuckle, citrus oil, caramelized grapefruit, peach and apricot jumps from the glass of this wine with extraordinary intensity from an aromatic standpoint, layer upon layer of fruit, a medium to full body but a delicate, ballerina-like precision and balance across the palate. It is a beauty and a profound effort. Drink it over the next decade. Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate

Blended of 66% Sémillon, 32% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle, the 2015 La Proportion Doree has a gorgeous honeyed lemon, white peach and grapefruit-scented nose with hints of wax candles, honeysuckle, elderflower and baking bread. Full-bodied, rich, creamy and oh-so-seductive, the palate delivers a wonderful intensity of honeyed citrus flavors with a long, exotic spice and mineral-laced finish. With still loads to reveal, this classically styled white should age beautifully! 660 cases were made. Lisa Perotti- Brown – The Wine Advocate
