Disgorged in June of 2025 with zero dosage and based on 100% Marsanne, the 2020 Saint-Péray Les Bulles D'Alain displays a medium gold hue with very fine bubbles. It offers a classy nose of ripe orchard fruits, brioche, green almonds, and croissant. It's medium-bodied and has a pure, layered, elegant mousse, terrific balance, and outstanding length. I like it today, yet it should keep nicely through 2035. Drink 2026-2035.

Rich golden yellow in colour. An intense nose of ripe yellow apple, thyme, some lardo, and grown-up undertones. The fine mousse plays around the palate with tasty tart notes of quince and grapefruit, allied to a pleasant acid core. Good length on the finish, ending with white chocolate in the aftertaste. An exceptional Crémant made from 100 percent Marsanne.

The outgoing 2020 Saint-Péray Les Bulles d'Alain first projects forthright yellow apple, ripe pear, white peach and twists of brioche. Dried blossom adds a gentle floral lift.

BR20-2506.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a medium ruby color and is fresh on the nose with notes of lifted spice, compact red berries, Bing cherries, roses, and sweet herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, with a polished and fine texture, a silky feel, and clean elegance through the finish. It’s a lovely and charming Pinot Noir with a lot of finesse to drink over the coming 8-10 years.

A wisp of honeydew melon melds with aromas of shortbread, Thai basil, gunflint and butter. This is a lighter-bodied Chardonnay where just enough acidity matches up with flavors of lemon, toasted marshmallow and white grapefruit. Given that trovato means "found" in Italian, it is appropriate that this wine is a nice find.

Austere Barbaresco with meaty, dark and vibrant nose. Fresh violets and roses are fully integrated with strawberries and dried cherries. Very savory and focused, with even a whiff of cinnamon and licorice. Full-bodied, it shines for the weight and again savoriness, sanguine depth. Tight-knit structure with firm, dusty yet integrated tannins and a polished finish. A lot of energy. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rose Delle Casasse is a gorgeous showing from Cascina Baricchi, pouring a medium red garnet hue. The nose is expressive with bright red cherries, cranberries, cinnamon, dried flowers, and crushed earth. Medium-bodied, it is elegant and refined, with sneaky underlying structure that reveals itself gradually on the palate. The tannins are well-integrated, and the balance makes it approachable even now, though it clearly has the depth to evolve gracefully. 13,450 bottles were produced. Drink 2026-2046.

92 Andreas Larsson - Tasted by Andreas Larsson

Dark purple core and hue. A polished and modern style with balanced oak, the fruit is both ripe and fresh with fine grain and texture, good drinkability despite its youth with great length.

91 Wine Spectator

"A full-bodied, distinctive style, with bitter orange and spiced apple wafting with smoke and salt. The supple palate, broad and fleshy, is reined in by succulent acidity that revs up the energy. Bitter mineral elements ground the substantial, smoky finish, which stretches out with notes of toast and marzipan. Serious and delicious. Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Drink now through 2027. 841 cases imported. -KB"
