The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc La Proportion Dorée is 69% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle. It's a deeper, richer white with notes of honeyed toast, white fig, lemon meringue, and chalky minerality. This full-bodied, powerful effort will shine on the dinner table and should have an interesting evolution over the coming 15+ years.

The 2020 La Proportion Dorée, Morlet's Sauvignon/Sémillon blend, is a very pretty wine, but not quite as opulent as it can be. There's plenty of nuance, if not quite the layered depth that is common in less traumatic years. Apricot, tangerine peel, chamomile, lemon confit, marzipan and a hint of truffle lend complexity throughout. I imagine the 2020 will age well on its brightness.
