Tasting note
L’Envolée Wines' 2023 Chenin Blanc should open with quince, pear and lemon, accompanied by a quiet floral scent. Napa Valley Carneros fruit is expected to feel rounded but bright, crisp acidity cutting through the supple texture and keeping the orchard flavors precise. Peak maturity runs from 2026 to 2029; the wider range ends in 2033. The finish should carry citrus peel, yellow fruit and a fine mineral note.
