Côtes d'Auxerre Domaine des Malandes Burgundy France 2018

Pale yellow with a satin look, and hints of green or straw yellow, evolving to gold over time. The nose reveals saline notes with lemon, white peaches, apple, almond, mint, fennel, and licorice, sometimes topped off with honeysuckle, fresh almond, and hazelnut. The nose is forthright with lemony freshness rounded out by a fleshy fruitiness evoking peach and other yellow-fleshed fruit. The finish is light and tender, with salinity and sometimes giving way to a spicier register.
