MANICURED VINEYARDS, CLASSICAL
WINEMAKING & CREATIVE ARTISANSHIP.

The winemaking approach of Morlet Family Vineyards starts in the vineyards. Particular attention is given from the preparation of the soils before planting to canopy management and harvest. The fruit is carefully hand-picked at physiological ripeness and gently carried over to the winery in small lugs by refrigerated truck.

A double sorting of the fruit cluster by cluster, and then berry by berry assures that only the very best fruit is used.

The wines are crafted with a passionate, uncompromised and ongoing pursuit of quality. They mature in a naturally cool cave, which was drilled into the volcanic rock.

Morlet’s low-intervention winemaking techniques were inspired by the very best producers of millennium old viticultural areas such as Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne and the South of France. They forbid any type of artifice, addition or technology which would compromise the natural aspects of the wines.

The oak wood is selected from the very best forests of the center of France. The staves are carefully and appropriately weathered before going through the crafts of exclusively talented and passionate artisan coopers, from both Bordeaux and Burgundy, with whom we have an ongoing relationship.

Only the bottling supplies with the highest quality standards are used for the bottling of the Morlet wines. The long corks come from Sardinia and are carefully tested, selected and systematically double sorted. The glass is imported from France. The foils and labels are manufactured locally.

This pursuit of authenticity has led the Morlets to select a solution to protect its customers from counterfeiting.

PROTECTED AUTHENTICITY AND INTEGRITY.
Morlet Family Vineyards has joined other prestigious domains and producers by retaining Prooftag and its Bubble Seal, allowing customers to simultaneously check the authenticity and integrity of the wine bottle.
Placed over the foil and the glass of each Morlet wine bottle, the Bubble Seal:

· Certifies the integrity of the content of the wine bottle. Any attempt to open and refill the bottle would damage the seal and would be quickly noticeable.

· Certifies the authenticity of the wine bottle. The Bubble Seal comprises an identity code associated with a Bubble Tag, which is the result of the chaotic self generation of bubbles within a transparent polymer, unique and impossible to reproduce. After having entered the identity code to the website www.prooftag.com, the control is easily completed by comparing the online picture to the Bubble Tag of the bottle.
