One of the biggest rising stars from Champagne is definitely Aurore Casanova🍾

Her Puisieulx may be one of the lesser-known Grand Crus in Champagne, even considered obscure by some. However, the quality of its vineyards combined with the old vines and the expertise of the winemakers makes this Champagne truly unique.

The Champagne house Aurore Casanova is led by Aurore and her husband Jean-Baptiste. They founded the champagne house with a philosophy of respecting the environment and all forms of life. They are certified organic, follow biodynamic principles, and avoid chemical pesticides. Aurore Casanova’s vineyards are a living ecosystem rich in biodiversity. On beautiful days, they bring their 🪿 into the vineyards to forage for 🐛 . They have planted willows to provide cooling in the vineyard and grow herbs in the garden to nourish and protect the vines.

Aurore and Jean-Baptiste are passionate wine fanatics. They apply the precision and craftsmanship in their vineyards and during the wine making process in order to express the wonderful diversity of the Champagne terroir in their wines. They travel to places like Santorini to learn how old vines respond to dry periods and to Canada to understand how winemakers cope with late spring frosts. Their cellars are a hub of experimentation in the constant search for great quality. One of their new projects is creating their own Ratafia, which they hope to bring to market soon. They exchange ideas with renowned winemakers like Anselme Selosse, but always prioritize authenticity over imitation. Jérôme Prevost also visits their cellars regularly. It’s no surprise that their Grand Cru wines are aged in old wooden barrels from , -Ouriet, and .

Franz Hirtzberger is, of course, an icon of Austrian winemaking. A highly sought-after estate and hard-to-find wines, it owns just 9.5 hectares of vineyards in total. This wine comes from their Hochrain parcel in the Spitzer wine-growing region, which is part of the Wachau.

In 2015, this vineyard was harvested at the end of October, and Irmgard Hirtzberger described the Hochrain grapes as: “some of the loveliest Riesling berries you’d ever want to see.”

And you can absolutely taste that in the wine. Now, almost ten years later, it is drinking beautifully. Initially very mineral. Then unfolds into a gorgeous bouquet of ripe lemon and peach, with a slightly jammy tone. Incredibly balanced in acidity (rich and yet mineral) driven. You can taste the minerals of crushed shells and flint on the background. The palate also shows subtle notes of ripe fruit, with occasional hints of peach. What a wine! Still offering a long, persistent finish, and while it will continue to age, it is drinking superbly right now.

Vega Sicilia is arguably the most renowned wine estate in Spain, having been established in 1864 in close proximity to the town of Valladolid within the Ribera del Duero region.

The original vineyard was meticulously cultivated by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, who planted grape varieties sourced from the Bordeaux region, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These grape varieties continue to be used in the production of their wines to this day. Towards the end of the 19th century, the wine bore the name “Bodegas de Lecanda.” However, since the early 1900s, it has been known as “Bodegas de Vega Sicilia.”

As early as the 1920s, Vega Sicilia wines began garnering significant recognition at international wine festivals. Yet, it was truly during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s that the estate produced exceptional vintages. Since 1982, coinciding with the year Ribera de Duero earned the designation of “Denominación de Origen” (D.O.), the estate has been under the ownership of the Alvarez family.

One of Vega Sicilia’s exceptional offerings is the Vega Sicilia Unico Reserva Especial, crafted by blending three distinct top vintages of Unico. Some of these wines may even incorporate grapes harvested from vintages that are more than 30 years apart from one another. This wine is truly rare and extraordinary, with a limited production of only 15,000 bottles upon release.

Sassicaia 2017

The 2017 vintage was particularly challenging in Tuscany due to the severe drought that affected much of Italy. Nevertheless, the experienced winemakers at Tenuta San Guido succeeded in producing an impressive Sassicaia. By harvesting early and applying rigorous selection in the vineyard, they managed to make the most of a difficult year. Adjustments were also made in the cellar. For example, the wine was racked more slowly to allow greater contact with oxygen, a choice that enhanced its complexity.

The result is a surprisingly elegant Sassicaia, which, despite its youth, is already highly enjoyable after some time in a decanter. The wine shows refined red fruit, especially blueberries and blackberries, complemented by subtle notes of cinnamon and leather. The firm tannins reflect its youthful character, yet they are beautifully integrated and balanced by fresh acidity and a long, layered finish.

A brilliant wine, particularly considering the tough conditions of the vintage. Also, a wine that will only become more beautiful in the years to come.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon - Le Montrachet 2004.

Since 1918, Domaine des Comtes Lafon has owned vines in what may be the most illustrious white wine vineyards in the world: Le Montrachet.

Since 1984, Dominique Lafon, the founder’s grandson, has been at the helm of this iconic estate. He has worked fully biodynamically since 1995 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest winemakers of his generation. Jancis Robinson once called him the “Master of Meursault” and considers him one of Burgundy’s foremost ambassadors.

Today, his son Guillaume is responsible for the vinification, but this 2004 Le Montrachet was still made by Dominique himself.

The 2004 vintage was a classic year in Burgundy—no exuberant blockbuster, especially for white wines around Puligny, which proved challenging. Still, there are some beautiful wines from that year, and this one fits that profile: no fireworks in the glass, but a beautifully layered and complex Grand Cru with vibrant acidity, subtle spiciness, and a long, elegant finish.

We do note that it’s slowly nearing the end of its ideal drinking window. Our advice: drink it now.

The Champagne house Louise Brison is nestled in the village of Noé-les-Mallets, located in the Côte des Bar, the southernmost part of the Champagne region. Just 7 kilometers from Burgundy, it’s closer to Chablis than to Reims.

At the helm is the passionate and visionary winemaker Delphine Brulez, who continues the legacy begun by her grandmother Louise in 1900. Delphine is deeply committed to sustainability, working with great respect for nature and the unique character of the terroir. Her goal is to hand down vigorous, healthy vines to future generations. Since 2012, she has cultivated the estate organically, achieving official organic certification in 2020 for all 15 hectares of vineyards in the Côte des Bar. The soils here are geologically older than those in northern Champagne and are rich in marl and clay, like the terroir of nearby Chablis.

Delphine exclusively produces vintage Champagne, and this focus is reflected in the estate’s distinctive labels. Each label is designed as a golden timeline, with the central circle offering an artistic interpretation of both the vintage and the wine’s unique personality, a symbol that also appears on the wine’s muselet.

One of the house’s cuvées, the 2016 A L’Aube de la Côte des Bar, is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay with zero dosage. Though already showing some age, it retains remarkably fine bubbles. The nose and palate reveal an elegant combination of citrus and delicate stone fruits, laced with zest and hints of salted lemon. There’s also a subtle coppery note of crisp apple and a distinct mineral edge. The wine unfolds with intensity, showcasing ripe red cellar apples, herbs, and stone fruit, backed by vibrant acidity and a long, refined finish.

✨Poderi Aldo Conterno – Bussiador 2013✨
This 100% Chardonnay from Aldo Conterno comes from various vineyards in Bussia (Monforte d’Alba). The grapes are harvested in the first ten days of September and are fermented in wood. After fermentation, the wine rests for a few days in stainless steel vats, and once the alcoholic fermentation has begun, it is transferred back into wood until fermentation is complete.

The result is a full-bodied wine with great aging potential.

The wine is gorgeous, still showing beautiful lemon and pineapple tones. There are also hints of honey and coffee, suggesting that the wine is at its peak and should be enjoyed now. Very well balanced, with bright acidity and a long, elegant aftertaste.

Château Mouton Rothschild 1986

A legendary wine, sometimes slightly overshadowed by the other iconic vintage, 1982. However, this is a wine that matured much more slowly than the 1982, which means it is now truly at its peak. This is also reflected in various wine critics’ reviews—over the years, the wine has been repeatedly tasted, and the scores have steadily increased. It has now received the maximum score of 100 points four times, twice 99 points, and 19 points from Jancis Robinson.

What makes this even more remarkable is that 1986 was not considered the best vintage in Bordeaux, yet Château Mouton Rothschild stood out far above the rest that year.

The wine still shows beautiful fruit after more than 35 years, and the tannins have softened. Notes of blackberry combined with leather and subtle spiciness. Others at the table also detected hints of to***co and leaves. But everyone agreed—the fruit still dominates. It’s also an intensely concentrated wine with a phenomenal finish. So from us, it too receives the maximum score.

Domaine d’Auvenay – Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres 1er Cru 1999

Domaine d’Auvenay is a very small estate from Saint-Romain, founded in 1988 and the home of the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, who is, of course, the winemaker. Recent vintages are only released when Lalou Bize-Leroy believes they are ready for consumption—often only 10 years later and sometimes even longer.

The wine began to open up slowly after we had it open for just over fifteen minutes. Yet, it revealed itself more and more the longer it sat in the glass; certainly, a wine that can easily be opened one hour and maybe even two hours in advance. Following its development over those hours is also part of the experience when drinking such an exceptional wine.

What stands out are the high yet beautiful acids in this wine, combined with citrus fruits. It is a very dry wine with notes of white flowers and abundant minerality. You can also detect hints of crème brûlée and nutty nuances at the end, suggesting that it is truly fully mature. The year 1999 was, of course, not the best for white Burgundian wines, and although the wine remains gorgeous, it is slowly beginning to approach its ultimate window of drinkability. It is thanks to the expertise of Lalou Bize-Leroy that we can still enjoy this wine in 2025. What an exceptional experience.

Château Cheval Blanc has always been one of our absolute favorite wineries from Bordeaux. However, 1989 was a challenging year in Saint-Émilion. A few years ago, we had the opportunity to taste a 1989 Cheval Blanc, and we unanimously agreed that, along with Angélus and Troplong Mondot, it was one of the finest wines from Saint-Émilion in that vintage. But that was quite some time ago, so we were very curious to see how this wine would hold up in 2025.

Upon opening, the aroma immediately reveals a beautiful spiciness, enveloped by light sweet notes, hints of leaves, and black fruit. The acidity is perfect, maintaining a remarkable balance. The tannins are velvety soft, and the texture is silky smooth, with refined notes of red fruit and leather in the taste. Even after all these years of aging in the cellar, the wine remains extraordinary.

As the finish unfolds, subtle hints of mushroom emerge, subtly signaling that this wine has now reached its peak—or perhaps even slightly surpassed it. This is entirely expected for a wine from a difficult vintage that is nearly 35 years old. Nevertheless, it remains an outstanding wine and an absolute must-try for those who have the chance to enjoy it in the coming years.

Champagne Philippe Gonet – Belemnita Grand Cru 2005 with fresh Oysters

The Belemnita 2005 remains an exceptionally fresh and elegant Blanc de Blancs from the esteemed artisan champagne house, Philippe Gonet. Based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the Gonet family has been crafting champagne for seven generations, with their expertise shining through in this remarkable vintage.

Only 2,400 bottles of this complex cuvée were produced, using grapes exclusively from their own Grand Cru vineyard, located next to the legendary vineyard of Salon. Even after nearly 20 years, this champagne exhibits striking chalky minerality, beautifully intertwined with delicate citrus notes and hints of white flowers.

When paired with fresh Dutch oysters, the minerality of the Belemnita 2005 enhances the briny oceanic flavors, while its crisp citrus nuances create a perfect balance. A truly exceptional pairing for connoisseurs of fine champagne and seafood.

Duemani – Altrovino 2017

Duemani is a renowned Super Tuscan winery, founded in 2000 by the couple Elena Celli and Luca d’Attoma in the picturesque village of Riparbella, Tuscany. Luca, an accomplished winemaker, had already worked for prestigious Italian wineries like Tua Rita and Le Macchiole before fulfilling his dream of starting his own venture alongside his wife. The name Duemani, meaning “two hands,” symbolizes their enduring partnership and shared passion.

The estate’s vineyards are located at an altitude of 250–300 meters on poor, stony soils, just 15 kilometers from the Tuscan coast. Here, the couple cultivates their favorite varieties: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah, across 12 hectares of biodynamically managed land. They adhere to strict organic practices, using only natural pesticides, which allows the grapes to maintain their authentic character. Duemani holds the esteemed Demeter certification for biodynamic agriculture.

The Altrovino 2017 is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, crafted during a challenging vintage for Tuscany. Despite the difficulties, this wine showcases remarkable quality and depth. It bursts with rich aromas and flavors of chocolate, walnut, leather, and spices, complemented by notes of dark fruits like blueberry and blackberry. With well-integrated tannins and a long, velvety finish, this wine is a testament to the artistry of Duemani.

Currently the Altrovino 2017 promises an exceptional drinking experience.
