Etienne Sauzet Bourgogne Blanc 2017

(aged half in wood, half in steel with only ~10% of the portion in wood being new – from Puligny vines). Post-bottling sulfur presently dominates the underlying fruit so give this a quick aeration if you’re going to crack a bottle before a year has gone by. Otherwise there is excellent energy to the delicious, racy and saline-inflected flavors that terminate in a clean, dry and linear finish. Despite the difficult nose, this offers fine potential as an ageworthy Bourgogne.
