96 points Robert Parker: "The 2013 Chardonnay Ma Douce comes from the high-elevation ridge top vineyard, two ridges in from the Pacific Ocean, and is bottled without fining or filtration (essentially the formula for all of the wines in the Morlet portfolio). It displays loads of tangerine oil, brioche, honeysuckle, and nectarine. It is full-bodied, beautifully pure, dense and capable of lasting at least 10-15 years. (Dec 2015)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2013 Chardonnay Ma Douce, from the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, is striking. Deep, powerful and nuanced, Ma Douce captures the essence of Wente Clone Chardonnay. Apricot, butter, peach, wild flowers and lightly honeyed notes meld into the rich, creamy finish. This is a very pretty, textured Chardonnay from Luc and Jodie Morlet. With time in the glass, the wine acquires an additional dimension of grace. There is a lot to like. (Aug 2016)

Producer notes: "Full yellow color. Aromas of lemon drop, Crème Brulée and orange zest intermixed with strong notes of minerality (wet stones) and fresh hazelnut. Full-bodied, mineral driven, this wine displays a creamy texture and very long mineral finish. Built to age gracefully for a decade, this wine is already very approachable."
