2022 Double L Chardonnay (Dijon Clones)

Conscientiously farmed since the original plantings in 1997, today Morgan’s Double L Estate Vineyard is the only certified organic vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Located at the northern end of the AVA, the vineyard’s north-south row orientation provides optimal wind and sun exposure.

Dijon clones, originally selected by the University of Dijon in Burgundy, became very popular in the 1990s and 2000s due to their early ripening, disease resistance, and balanced yields. In general, our clones 95 and 96 tend to show lots of tropical and floral qualities, while retaining fresh acidity.

Notes of key lime pie, pineapple, and salted butter are echoed on the palate by Asian pear and baking spices. One of the finest food wines, the Double L Chardonnay Dijon Clones will pair wonderfully with seafood and poultry dishes, as well as a buttery steak.
