Domaine Jean-Baptiste Ponsot Rully Premier Cru "Montpalais" 2019

I haven't tried many of Elden Selections' Premier Cru offerings,  they are of course more expensive, but I'm very glad I did because this is a lovely, lovely white burgundy wine.  Domaine Jean-Baptist Ponsot Premier Cru (2019), here .

"Gun-flint smoky minerality drives this ripe, old-vine fruit and elegant white flower complexity to great lengths. Extremely long finish, and the hallmark tension, even in old vine depth. Aging 12 months in barrels (20% of new oak barrels) and 3 months of assembly in mass."

Julien Cruchandeau Aligote 'LeVillage' 2020

Still not a wine blog.  Really.  OK, for the record, Aligote is a white grape.

"From 50 year old vines in the hills above Nuits St Georges, this Aligote is fresh and spicy with green apple acidity.  Bright, crisp almost crunchy fruit and a deep, floral lingering finish carried out long by the limestone minerality."

I think that's accurate.  I like it, I'm not crazy about it, I think I'd like it more during summer, not winter, but it is fresh, crisp, etc.  Quite delicious.
