2024 Domaine des Sanzay Saumur Les Bazilles Blanc Subregion_Vougeot then run through a pot

then run through a pot still

unfurling in the glass with aromas of plums and wild berries mingled with hints of rose petals

The wine is luminous and bright with lots of bright cherry and raspberry

while sansho pepper gives it a warm

developing more complexity as the smooth layers shift to accommodate the growing pepper and chili heat ahead of a spicy honey finish
