Guessed this as a 2018 white burg. A successful blind by all accounts! Ripe, lush Chardy fruit (even a touch of pineapples) and excellent quality oak, all wrapped in a lively, saline package. Deceptively light at the start, but air does bring out quite a bit of texture and power. For me, certainly a wine of its soil (white clay on limestone) and vintage, once revealed. Delicious, although I did find it a tad heavy at the end of the night.

Very crisp, clean, linear. Bright & energetic with cool white & yellow fruit, some nice sesame / popcorn reduction and a rocky, saline undertone.
Shows more complexity on the plate with nice minerality shining through, juicy acidity and salty, ripe lemons filling in. Has some breadth but also focus, depth & tension.
A really, really nice modern white Burgundy!
Even better on day 2!
