It is our ‘Heart’s Astonishment’ or ‘Coup de Cœur.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraw yellow color. Complex bouquet of candied lemon, citrus oils, Reinette apple and strong notes of hazelnut and white truffle. Mineral driven on the palate, the mouth feel is rich yet delicate. Seamless and classic, it is wonderfully subtle and long on the finish. With a very high ageing potential, this wine can be cellared for over a decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe borderline perfect 2017 Chardonnay Coup De Coeur comes from a selection of the best barrels and there are only 150 cases of this elixir. Aged in 40% new French oak, this exotic, powerful Chardonnay offers a heavenly bouquet of honeyed citrus, toasted brioche exotic flowers, and orange blossom. It’s rich, voluptuous, and thrillingly textured, yet has good acidity, remarkable purity, a stacked mid-palate and a finish that won’t quit. Count me impressed; California Chardonnay doesn’t get much better.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Jeb Dunnuck 99 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoup de Coeur is an über barrel-selection blend of the Morlet’s Chardonnay vineyards, using exclusively Old Wente clone selection. The 2017 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur bursts with spicy notions of allspice and coriander seed over a core of ripe Bosc pears, apple pie and almond croissant with wafts of beeswax and candied ginger. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is tightly wound, offering beautiful tension to offset all the opulent, spicy flavors, finishing very long and incredibly harmonious even at this very youthful stage. 150 cases are due to be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Wine Advocate 99 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949056749615,"sku":"217258","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/morletchard.jpg?v=1771488634","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/morlet-family-vineyards-coup-de-coeur-chardonnay-2017","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
