This 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay from Etienne Sauzet, even at the regional level, is expected to be a vibrant and expressive wine. On the nose, look for bright aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and fresh pear, potentially complemented by subtle floral notes like acacia and a hint of wet stone minerality. The palate should be crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity and a medium body. Flavors of citrus and orchard fruits will dominate, leading to a clean, precise finish. While primarily fruit-driven in its youth, it may exhibit a delicate touch of creaminess or hazelnut from judicious use of older oak, a hallmark of Sauzet’s style.
