I’m not sure what’s going on with this bottle but the wine has no flavor. Other vintages of Chaleur Blanc are sometimes overpowering. I hope it’s a single bottle issue as I have quite a few more jugs...

The oak is fully and nicely integrated. Nose shows nice Semillon notes if honeysuckle and beeswax. Palate starts off smooth as silk with some nice rich and full body flavors. Ends with nice crispness. Would buy again.

Nose of fruit and minerals. Rich but balanced wine with lucious mouthfeel. Stone fruit and melon wrapped around a subtle minerality. Fairly long finish. After about three hours the fruit faded away a touch , not completely, and was augmented with a level of spice and a little baked bread. Although interesting, I think it wasn’t quite as charming as when first opened. Read into that what you will.

Way better on night two. This has got a long life ahead of it and I look forward to it.

Enjoyable. Sweet but not overpowering. Tastes of melon, white peach and hints of beeswax.
