There is an intensity to the mid palate that is rarely seen at this level.  In short, if you drink white wine with any regularity and need something around the house to open and enjoy without thinking twice, Id suggest picking up a case or even two!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eI \u003cspan\u003e do sample and drink a lot of wine and when I come across something with this kind of quality -\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"color: #ff0000;\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"color: #000000;\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eI Back Up The Truck!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"color: #000000;\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e  which is exactly what I have done with the 2017 Bourgone Blanc.  \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"color: #ff0000;\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eI'm so confident in this wines quality that if you buy it and don't like it, I will pay to ship whatever you bought back to me and issue you a complete refund, including the bottle you drank!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e Buy more than you think you might need because this is one of those wines that by the time you get it and taste it and want to order more it is going to be be sold out. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037469855983,"sku":"5869","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/bzikot_blanc.webp?v=1731312974","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2017-sylvain-bzikot-bourgogne-blanc","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
