2011 ETIENNE SAUZET BOURGOGNE BLANC- light yellow color; the first nose had some mineral component and the taste had lemon tart and green apple notes with a dusting of minerality and a honey overtone; toward the finish, some heat came in and kind of interfered with all of the good traits; most got this as FR.

Gun powder, green apples and some green notes. Opens up with a bit of air and time and by the end of the night this is a quite broad wine. Slightly tart acidity, lean body and a good intensity. Need a few more years in the cellar.

good entry bourgogne wine with great balance, acidity as well as delicate and well integrated oak aromas. nothing phenomenal but good for fresh sea food. should age well for another 3-5 years.

Crystal clear light straw yellow color. Mesmerizing scent of rock dust and minerality paired with lovely apples, pears, gooseberries and newly mowed grass. Nose is perhaps a bit introvert, and there seems to be more under the surface. Taste is concentrated compared to the appellation, perfectly balanced and delightful in its elegant simplicity. I taste lots of nicely integrated acidity and a steely minerality combined with half-ripe sweet cherries and farm apples. On the verge of being too much acidity right now, but it works perfectly when paired with mollusk. I really like this producer.
