2013 Morlet Late Harvest Sémillon "Billet Doux", Alexander Valley, USA - 375mlABOUT THIS 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 Smillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat vineyards lead to the immensely concentrated fruit. Just as one receives a note from ones sweetheart, we present this wine as a precious Love Note or Billet Doux.
