Producer: Bouquin Dupont Fils
A wonderful champagne, 100% Chardonnay of Avize from vineyards more than 60 years old. A base of citrus fruit melted with the scent, and taste, of a custard where there are also two drops of lemon juice. Delicious and enjoyable.
Producer: Jacquesson
In Cuvée 748, reserve wines enrich its complexity without ever overshadowing the personality of the 2020 base vintage. The result is a refined, authentic Champagne that captivates with its depth and purity.
Producer: Dehours et Fils

The 2018 Il Carbonaione is one of the most elegant editions of this flagship wine I can remember tasting. Il Carbonaione is usually a rich, bombastic wine, but the 2018 is sleek, gracious and remarkably refined.

The Champagne Tradition from Marie Demets in Cote des Bar offers a delightful sensory experience. It presents a pale golden hue with delicate effervescence dancing in the glass. On the nose, it entices with aromas of crisp green apples, ripe pear, and hints of citrus zest, complemented by subtle floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle.
Producer: Podere Poggio Scalette
The 2019 Il Carbonaione is silky and racy in the glass. Scents of new oak are a clear sign the 2019 doesn't quite have the density of the very best years, but Il Carbonaione has a brilliant track record of aging.

Surprisingly open for a young Rinaldi Barolo, the 2011 is round, spherical and supple. Leather, smoke and tobacco wrap around a plump, juicy core of dark Brunate fruit. The pedigree of Brunate comes to the fore with further time in bottle.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
A Barolo of midweight structure and persistence, the 2014 Brunate comes across as a wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. The 2014 offers fine balance in a decidedly gracious, understated style.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Rinaldi's 2015 Barolo Brunate is a powerful, dense wine. Hints of spice, licorice and cherry develop with time in the glass. The power and intensity of the year are very much in evidence in this amazing Brunate.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Rinaldi's Barolo Brunate is refined and light on its feet in 2015, with a bit less structure and overall depth than is the norm. That is not at all surprising, as the 2015 Brunate has always been a relatively light wine by Rinaldi standards.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2016 Barolo Brunate is a tightly wound wine with striking inner perfume, sweetness and energy. Deep, dense and powerful, the 2016 exudes a sense of classical austerity that will thrill Rinaldi lovers.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2017 Barolo Brunate is a dark, powerful wine. A huge swath of tannins gives the Brunate its feeling of gravitas. Dark cherry fruit, lavender, sage, licorice, spice and earthy notes build into a crescendo of aromas and flavors that is just captivating.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Rinaldi's Brunate 2018 is one of the most satisfying wines of the vintage. Austere, medium in body and classic in feel. With that extra bit of textural resonace that is such a Brunate signature, the 2018 has a real potential.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Rinaldis' 2018 Barolo Brunate is one of the most satisfying wines of the vintage. Austere, medium in body and classic in feel, with that extra bit of textural resonance that is such a Brunate signature.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2019 Barolo Brunate soars out of the glass with a dazzling array of dark, balsamic-infused aromas and flavors that are so typical of Brunate. Sage, menthol, melted road tar, lavender and dark plum all build in this rich and deeply textured Brunate. With superb balance, the Brunate is shaping up beautifully. There is an exotic wildness to the 2019 that...
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2020 Barolo Brunate is stellar. I especially admire its mix of soaring intensity and energy, and yet the wine also remains light on its feet. Ethereal, nuanced and classy, the Brunate is a super-classic Barolo with the refinement of the present day. Dark fruit, spice, leather, menthol and licorice build into the potent, substantial finish, with notes...
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2020 Barolo Brunate is outstanding, balancing intense energy with a light touch. It's ethereal and refined, offering a classic Barolo profile. Dark fruit, spice, leather, and menthol lead into a substantial finish, with lingering notes of minerals and blood orange.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2021 Barolo Brunate opens with very pretty aromatics. Dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, rose petal and blood orange emerge with some coaxing. On the palate, the 2021 feels a bit light, the result of severe frost damage that ultimately resulted in significant replanting following the 2023 harvest. The lack of textural depth is impossible to look past.
