Rest in peace, Justin Chearno.
Listening to his name ring out in every conversation around me here at Le Verre Volé in Paris, a restaurant which was more like a cathedral to him, a shrine where he was both worshipper and deity, I remember my friend and the great gifts he gave me. Everything tasted better with Justin at my side. I felt smarter, stronger, and cooler. So did everyone around him. Losing him is like losing one of your senses; it’s just suddenly that much harder to interpret the world around me. I miss him.

Fantastic balanced Pinot from a great spot in Bend, Oregon if you’re passing through for any reason, distant tannins and stone fruits. — 4 months ago

Very pretty, elegant and intriguing. A rare ouille non-oxidative cuvee from this producer rightly famous for their range of excellent sous voile Chardonnays and Savagnins. Sourced from Bar Brutal in BCN. Looking for a case of this 🙌 — 10 days ago

Bottled 2020, disgorged 2023. Heavier and less austere than what I remember of this cuvee, like the crust of a tarte tatin. Very fine mousse too. — 2 months ago

Delicious. Balanced, leaning towards rounded acids, fantastic, will be very expensive very soon. — 13 days ago

Gorgeous. Not as familiar with the reds but they are just as elegant and compelling as the whites. — 4 months ago

Just wonderful. Delicate, balanced and already showing such finesse at a young age, very excited to see this vintage in the future, if I can find any. — 4 months ago
