The 2002 Chaleur Estate Dixieme Anniversaire white, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, offers a honeyed nose of minerals, melon, and butter. Lush, satin-textured, and soft, this medium-bodied effort coats the palate with rich layers of creamed melons and almonds. Flavorful, armed with wonderful mouth-feel, it also possesses a long, suave finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
