Pierre Brisset
Sous Roche Dumay Saint Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay



The 2022 “Sous Roche Dumay” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with remarkable notes of bright tropical and ripe orchard fruit, a lovely mix of yellow and white flowers and laden with chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Be still, my beating heart…the acid! Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and delivers a serious dose of the minerals, keeping up with the two Raveneau enjoyed alongside. Brilliant. This was arguably the best of the three paired with the pôchouse bourguignon but really, all three worked well. Drink now through 2052. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass

Simply awesome. Nose is a hint of sweet framing oak, so much wet earth, wazoo minerals and some green apple. So aromatic. Wow. Palate is so elegant yet tense with citrus, pear and green apple and terrific acid on the backend and minerals that slather on the extended finish. So juicy and with tremendous freshness. Nose now going saline. So finessed yet with such impressive material. Tons of dry extract and man that finish is unbelievable. Okay, Holy Shit the nose is insane now. Just mega elite aromas. Floral, wet earth, sweet wood, stanky minerals. 9.9 nose. It’s just so deep and penetrating. Just insane. Okay, last sip has elevated this wine into 9.9 territory nose and palate. Just so elegant as to break your mind. How can something be so perfect? Most elegant Brisset white I have ever had.
