DeLille Cellars Chaleur Blanc 2023
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, delicate herbaceous notes, and rich oak spice, creating a complex and sensational effort that is remarkably 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.
Critical Acclaim
93 Wine Enthusiast
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.
