Domaine Hoffmann-Jayer, Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc 2021 (1x75cl)

Though it remains subtle, the wood treatment is slightly more noticeable on the super-fresh aromas of just sliced apple, pear and citrus confit. The denser and more powerful medium-bodied flavors coat the palate with dry extract while a prominent bead of minerality adds a sense of lift to the impressively long finale. This isn't refined but it's an unusually good example and well-worth considering.Tasted by Allen Meadows on June 10, 2023.Drink: 2025+
