2018 Maison Pierre Brisset Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée Cassaneas
4/18/2024 - dreambeam Likes this wine:
Another stunning bottle of Pierre Brisset's Cuvée Cassaneas- as a calling card for an estate it doesn't get much better. Reductive note has faded, oak is further integrated and it's all crystalline minerality and citrus refracted through a saline lens with only the finish to remind you of the vintage. Fabulous.

1998 Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre
3/25/2024 - dreambeam Likes this wine:
Stood upright the day before--uncorked in the morning and decanted off (minimal) sediment an hour before serving. This was so intensely aromatic we used Zalto burgundy stems to luxuriate in the nose. Wow. Sweet red currants, hints of leather and earth. Fully integrated - seemed at peak but not going anywhere. Certainly delicious even if this seemed more defined by sweetness than other vintages we've had.

NV Alexandre Filaine Champagne Cuvée Spéciale
2/21/2024 - dreambeam Likes this wine:
If I may pillage Edith Wharton writing of poor Lily's worn-out dresses in "The House of Mirth" - "...long unerring lines, the sweep and amplitude of the great artist’s stroke..." Coming down to earth, this is simply round in all the right places. Enjoyed out of Lehmann stems, this bottle was sublime and a great reminder that the first duty of a wine is to give pleasure.
