The 2023 Chaleur Blanc wears the concentration of the vintage well, with prominent aromas of ripe apricot, honeydew melon, lemongrass, and green apple leaping from the glass. This compelling wine is layered with stone fruit flavors, del- icate herbaceous notes, and rich oak spice, creating a complex and sensational effort that is remark- ably approachable. The acid is firm and well-integrated with the rich, creamy flavors of lemon brioche, honeysuckle, and pie dough. The 2023 vintage demonstrates Chaleur Blanc at its best and will surely cellar beautifully for the next 15+ years.

Looking at the 2023 Chaleur Blanc from barrel, it has a juicy, expressive nose of honeyed lime and ripe grapefruit followed by medium-bodied richness, a round, supple mouthfeel, and a gorgeous finish. I love its purity, and this will be another beautiful white from this team.

The 2023 Blanc Chaleur mixes 69% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% SemiHon, yielding an enticing bouquet of rosemary, sage, lime-infused nectarines and split pine. It is silky smooth and savory in style, with flinty green apple and sour citrus tones that create lovely inner tension. This resonates with tropical inner florals and hints of tart grapefruit, finishing long with the slightest tug of subtle tannins. There's a lower percentage of new oak in the mix in 2023, at just 42%.

Fragrant aromas of sandalwood, peach pits, candied ginger and mangoes are encased in a full-bodied, creamy and textural palate. Very fresh, focused and classy. 69% sauvignon blanc and 31% semillon. Drink or hold.

Lemon and the floral qualities of ripe dragonfruit mix with aromas of flint and pine needles. This 69%-31% blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon tastes of lime zest, toasted walnuts and Pink Lady apples, all backed by face-crunching acidity. Pair with fried goat cheese to be worshipped as a wine god in your own lifetime.

A blend of 69% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% Sémillon, the 2023 Chaleur Blanc was matured in 42% new French oak. It has gregarious aromas of lemongrass, white peach, tarragon and musky floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is ripe and gently grippy, its layered flavors balanced by bright acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. 7,900 cases produced.
