Etienne Sauzet, Bourgogne Blanc Vintage:2018 Moderate reduction renders the nose

Moderate reduction renders the nose difficult to evaluate but there is good vibrancy and punch to the extract-rich flavors that are shaped by firm tannins and excellent length

but it is here in spades

The tannins need food (preferably a lump of protein) to take away their edge

Etienne Sauzet, Bourgogne Blanc Vintage:2018 Moderate reduction renders the nose(aged half in wood, half in steel with only ~10% of the portion in wood being new from Puligny vines). A very fresh and pretty nose combines notes of pear, apple and citrus where the latter element is also present on the racy, intense and lightly stony flavors that conclude in a bitter lemon inflected finish. This is a quality Bourgogne and worth checking out plus it will age.
