Pierre Brisset
Sous Roche Dumay Saint Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay
Saint-Aubin, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Energetic and deep. Racy and so pure. But this wine really took off with the 2020. And 21 and 22 are perfect.

Jul 23rd, 2024Nose is dynamite. Meyer lemon. Discreet oak. Floral, wet stones, wet earth, peaches? Superb delineation on the nose between, earth, mineral, flowers and fruit. As it opens more lime pith, more slate? Almost Mosel like. Wow, acid, concentration off the charts. Really young, but so clean, so pure and so long. Also initially closed. What density and what amazing material. Really nice texture and again, this is so mineral driven it’s crazy. Such a wealth of material here.
As it airs some spice develops. This seems really backwards and needs time but also is so so fine. Could be Chassagne. Explosive mineral finish and so earthy. This is as old school as St. Aubin gets. Saline, rocky and earthy. But finish is clipped as a function of its youth but man is this promising.

On open nose is rich. Some oak. Peeking minerals. As this opens almost like this candied minerality.
Palate is rich but contained. Really delicious. Ok. Only took 5 minutes for the Wow to kick in. It has that Insane balance that makes you just want to scream. Texture is silky but present. Mineral infused rainwater.
Finish is just so elegant. Pulverized rocks. Lingering elegant richness.
Will be better in 2 years as the oak completely integrated. But great now.
Bought from fass selections.

Sweet, complex confectionary quality, salty sweet fruit soak. Not the most aromatic definition, but great texture and overall very satisfying.

This nose has woodsmoke. Confectionary. Super stones. Insane concentration and purity. So refined and classy. Super saline and has that mineral sweetness and intensity. Balance and class that is always there with Brisset. What intensity. Incredible mineral wash on the finish. So so clean. Just a brilliant bottle of wine. Maybe 9.6. 9.5 now.

Palate: this is a rich wine. Yellow fruits. Delicious. Framing oak. Magnificent elegant acidity. Perfect acidic balance.
A magnificent richness.

Nose : lovely richness. Gorgeous if golden apple didn’t suck thing. Some white flowers as this opens. Wow. Beautiful.
Palate : golden. Rich but balanced. Delicious. Mineral. Hints of green apple. Internal aromatics are of the “remain that though art fair variety”. Gorgeous sweet wood. More elegant as it aerates.
Still needs 1-2 years for every single molecule of oak to integrate. Wait if you can’t deal.

Smoky & mineral; judicious oak. A bit closed at the moment. Good bones and supreme elegance—the hallmark of all Pierre’s wines.
