Pierre Brisset
Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Burgundy, France
Exuberant nose of big red cherries, spice, minerals and terrific bramble. Gorgeous vivid violet florals. So vivid and precise. Palate is juicy, compact, fresh and deep. Succulent and wow what depth but also nimble. Really pure and has some nice structure but needs maybe 35 minutes of air. Great stuff.

Mar 28th, 2023Preposterous. Only word for this wine. Stunning nose. Pungent red and black fruits, lovely dusting of earth, floral, lipstick like intensity, so sappy and so pure. Wow what a nose. Just so so expansive. Really detailed, clear and pure. Really is a step up over the 18. Wow what a palate. Froooooooot! I am Froot. I am Froot. I am Froot. Anyway. Gorgeous, clearly defined red cherry fruit with a dash of blackberry and so so pure. Gorgeous earthy minerality. But the purity, decadence and also gamey (Gevrey?) quality of the fruit really are compelling. Wow, inner mouth florals and aromas. Beautiful, elegant and taught structure as well. So so pretty. Sappy, long and dissipating finish. This is an unreal wine. I can’t figure out if it’s a 9.3 or 9.4. The day will decide. Onward! I am Froot!
Palate is getting rounded and this has the elite fruit of Pierre’s higher end wines but doesn’t have the complexity or length. But man that froot and texture.
After 4 hours this has gotten silkier, sweeter and sexier. 9.3 to 9.4. Insane acids. Huge minerals. It dances in the palate.

Yum. Mineral, some walnut, brilliant and dense red fruit. An elegant sweetness. Long finish.

Quite nice overall, and all of the pieces are clearly there. But I think this needs more time. Even with a 3 hour decant this was still somewhat reticent. You do get some lovely dark floral fruit and a refreshing bitterness, but the acid is perhaps slightly hidden behind the tannins. Try again in a couple years.

Nose is closed… an hour in amazing. A hint of savoriness. Dark cherry.
Palate is succulent. Dark cherry fruit. Delicious.
Long delicious finish.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is Bourgogne rouge but it’s really village gevrey so it’s not pop and pour. Totally worth the wait.

Incredible density & structure. Sappy fruit, floral finish, tannin & acid. Another Brisset winner from Fass selections.

Masculine, brawny. Scaffolded structure and fruit - devoted to cherry. I opened this too early - It'll sing in a few years. The aromas are wonderful today. They'll be better in five years. Cherries, and some green woodsy notes. Green peppercorn, mint, menthol, cedar. The structure takes some time to let loose. Took till day 3 to open and come together, but it did so very well. Flavors are one hit full on cherry in lovely concentrated form.
