Hugues Pavelot, Bourgogne Blanc (Burgundy, France) 2018

 If you want subtle power and mouthwatering tension in your white Burgundy on the cheap, you can hardly do better than this $25 bottle.  The 2018 Bourgogne Blanc opens in the glass with expressive aromas of green apple, lime blossom, and crushed stones.  The palate offers a bright spine of acidity that structures the light tropical fruit notes.   The wine ends with an invigoratingly clean, fresh finish.  A charming wine intended for consumption now and over the next year or two.
