The 2023 DeLille Chaleur Blanc, a Bordeaux-style blend of 69% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% Sémillon from Columbia Valley, opens with layered aromas of ripe apricot, honeydew melon, lemongrass, and lemon zest, accented by honeysuckle and fresh herbs.
On the palate, it delivers vibrant stone fruit, creamy lemon brioche, and subtle oak spice, with bright acidity balancing the rich, silky texture and hints of chamomile and crushed stone. Firm yet integrated, this complex white evolves toward a long, polished finish. Approachable now but built to cellar for 15+ years. Pair with seared sea scallops or herb-rubbed roast chicken.
