Wine information

Color
rich straw yellow
Nose
The 2021s Bourgogne Les Saussots is inviting and appetising from the first moment with its successful aromatic blend of ripe citrus fruit, some peach and ripe apple combined with traces of wood, lightly toasted hazelnuts and wax. The wine is lively and fresh, but also silky and sensual.
Palate
The palate reveals a juicy and indeed sensuous Burgundy blanc with a creamy texture, a fine rock and herbal spiciness and a present fruit. One definitely finds here Meursault in the glass with a certain rondeur. However, the terroir is interpreted in such a way that, in addition to the ripe fruit of stone fruit, there are also fresh citrus aspects that are accompanied by a lively acidity. This is a very successful entry.
