Morlet Family Vineyards is a fully family-owned California estate led by Luc and Jodie Morlet, with daughter Claire involved in operations and no external financial partners. Based in Napa and Sonoma, the family farms estate vineyards in sites including Oakville and St. Helena, with Luc Morlet as sole winemaker. The winery follows organic and regenerative farming, is pursuing CCOF certification, and emphasizes biodiversity through cover crops, beehives, and bird and owl habitats. In the cellar, Morlet applies classical French-inspired techniques such as native yeast fermentation, hand sorting, French oak aging, and bottling unfined and unfiltered, producing limited-quantity wines with a strong focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
