A student of Anselme Selosse—his sensibilities show in young Alexander Chartogne's exquisite cuvées. The Les Barres Extra Brut 2010 is alive with olfactive charm. Lemon curd, trinity cream, honeyed bread, mint and marzipan, all of which is underpinned by an earthy-minerally undercurrent that dominates the nose and palate of this handsome 100% old-vine Munier. Texturally, the body is dense and creamy complemented by a find bead and tensile acid spine. It's gorgeous. Sample — 9 years ago

An Ariana Rolich selection from @chambersstwines. Superb. Muscular, deep, elevated. Mostly pinot noir from Les Barres. A true revelation. — 13 years ago

Like Mick Jagger​, this lithe, mature Williams Selyem​ #Pinot Sonoma Coast 2001 can still do the rooster. Redolent of ripe cherries and licorice; as silky and earthy as Pamela Des Barres’ kiss. — 10 years ago
