Oh this is fun. Not trying to be profound, just brilliantly made. Hazelnuts and toasted sunflower seeds (hello, Eastern European childhood), yellow fruits keeping it juicy. Beautiful saline edge with flowers, crackling acidity wrapped in surprising roundness. Honestly reminds me of some ouillé Savagnins - that same mineral tension without the oxidation. This is Bornard showing that "simple" doesn't mean simple when you know what you're doing. It's like he's taken Chardonnay and whispered Jura secrets to it until it forgot it wasn't Savagnin. Delicious stuff. No fireworks, just pure drinkability with that natural wine soul intact.
