Les Perrières Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Beautiful color. Burn copper around the rim. Nose of pomegranate, tart red cherry, dusty minerals, dry dirt, old cellar. Dusty tannins dry out the mouth quickly. Really delicate and quickly fading acidity. Palate has the dusty minerals, sand, tart red fruit, tree bark. The tannins tell me wait another 1-2 years, but the acidity says drink. The drying tannins hide the palate a bit. — a month ago

Au-dessus du Gros Mont Champagne Chardonnay
This cuvée belongs at the very top of the Selosse line. Incredible depth of singular aromatics, a seamless marriage of textural richness and elegance and a vibrant chalky mineral-saline finish that just stays with you. Just 600 bottles made. — 7 days ago

Chablis Chardonnay
When well chilled the minerality shines and as the wine warms one get more citrus fruitiness. Pleasantly quaffable wine. — 25 days ago

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010
Nice but not quite at the level I was hoping. Maybe a bit past its prime? Quite a deep yellow in the glass. Lots of body. Has a bit of a pronounced lanolin quality. Would not have guessed Chablis, doesn’t have the acid or cut. Was hoping it would come together more on day 2 but never quite got to where I was hoping. — 3 months ago

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend 2004
Bottle 13-disg 2009, 2004 base. Greater intensity and freshness on the nose vs bottle 12. The oxidative notes integrate with scents of spice . On the palate complexity with freshness. A landslide of apples, oranges and minerals. — 19 days ago

Typical Selossse super complex nose . The oxidative notes there but in check, at least for me. The palate is more full than nuanced but not out of hand because of good acidity. Apricots, apples mixed in with citrus and nuts. Lingers on the tongue. — 3 days ago
