98 points Robert Parker: "The 2013 Chardonnay Ma Princesse, which comes from the Goldridge soils that run through the Russian River and parts of the Sonoma Coast area, has plenty of white peach, poached pears, brioche, and crushed rock as well as quince. It is stunningly steely, rich, and full-bodied, coming from some of the older vines that Luc Morlet utilizes. The wet stone notes are a clear indication of minerality. (Dec 2015)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2013 Chardonnay Ma Princesse shows the typical richness of the Russian River. Hazelnut, orange peel, mint, dried flowers and honey are nicely pushed forward. Voluptuous, racy and generous Ma Princesse is a striking, flamboyant wine to drink over the next handful of years. Ma Princesse is the most overt of the Morlet Chardonnays. (Aug 2016)

Producer notes: "Straw yellow color. Aromas of lemon drop, Reinette apple skin and fresh herbs (chamomile). Full-bodied and concentrated, this wine displays a creamy and rich texture which coats the palate for a very long time. Built to age gracefully for over a decade, this wine will gain being cellared for 6 months to a year before starting to reveal itself."
