The 2009 Charnu Cuvée Blanc has a vast and expressive nose, accented by notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and white peach. Flavors of clove and baked apple flesh out its creamy palate. An essence of Meyer lemon lends a bright acidity to the long finish. It is a succulent wine that can be enjoyed immediately.
