2018 Domaine Thomas Collardot Bourgogne Blanc Les Petits Poirers

A supremely fresh, bright and taut 2018. The nose shows clarity & precision with a little slightly rich, yet detailed orchard fruit on the sidelines. A slight saline lift. Not as much dry extract as the 2019. The palate implodes for a moment before showing energy & length in the form of bruised preserved lemon. Chalky, grippy yet not showing as much density nor puppy fat as the 2019. Very saline with great length. -Jono Hersey, FWC A super-fresh nose freely offers up notes of apple, citrus and a hint of spice. There is lovely verve to the well-detailed and solidly concentrated flavors that possess above average depth and persistence for a Bourgogne. In fact, this very dry and refreshing effort could easily pass for a villages level wine. 88 points, outstanding, top value. Allen Meadows, The Burghound
