Note di degustazione
Medium gold-hued, the 2023 Château De Chantegrive Caroline Blanc has terrific aromatics of ripe stone and tropical fruits as well as minty herbs and a kiss of spice. Based on 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 45% Sémillon, and 5% Sauvignon Gris and aged nine months in 50% new French oak with the balance in one-year-old barrels, it's medium-bodied and has a nicely balanced, richer mouthfeel and a great finish. It's geared for the dinner table and should keep for 2-4 years or so. There are 5,500 cases produced. Drink 2026-2029.

The 2023 Cuvée Caroline, the château's top white, offers up hints of peach, chamomile, dried flowers, sage, mint and herbs. Light tropical inflections open on the mid-palate and finish, adding layers of dimension and complexity.
The 2023 Cuvée Caroline Blanc has a nicely detailed, slightly more minerally, reductive nose than its peers, one that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is taut and fresh, with a keen line of acidity. Gentle and lilting in style, it has a more oily, resinous finish that lends intrigue. Good persistency.
Juicy, fresh, and crisp yellow citrus, flowers, and pineapples, show easily in the nose. The palate, is sweet, ripe, energetic, and fresh, with loads of juicy, yellow citrus in the creamy finish.
