Yann Alexandre • Brut Noir - NV
This open-knit Champagne is clean-cut, though a bit woolly in texture, with a smoky underpinning to the notes of whole-grain toast, lemon pith and black cherry.
Domaine Forey Pere & Fils • Nuits St. Georges - 2017
This has attractive red florals and sappy red plums, as well as cherries. The palate has good depth, chew and succulence with ripe red-cherry flavors holding fresh. From two lieu dits: Plantes Aux Barons and Charbonnieres. Vine age is 60-plus years
