2017 Marsannay Champs Salomon Blanc

Layered and dramatic, the 2017 Marsannay Au Champ Salomon Blanc wafts from the glass with aromas of green orchard fruit, fresh bread and a touch of smoke. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with a generous core of fruit, succulent balancing acids and a long, saline finish. It will likely tense up with additional élevage, and it's marginally the finest of an excellent range of whites in the cellar this year.
