Cuvée Lucien Blanc de Blancs Brut Crémant de Bourgogne Chardonnay

NV | In December always a bin end sale and it is an absolute no brainer! So delicious, vibrant and full of class. This 08/09/2025 degorgement is even better than last year. Paired with scrambled eggs at breakfast and salmon with dinner. — 6 months ago

Brut Blanc de Blancs Crémant de Bourgogne Chardonnay

Just concluded our annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.

Nose has cold oak, yeasty bread dough, yellow apple flesh and cold limestone.
Palate has chalk dust on yellow apple, saline minerality and cold bread dough.
Medium-short finish, but quite pleasant on the nose.

When In Portugal…. Drink Portuguese white blends, with wax caps. From the local mini mart… for 10 euros plus. A soft lion, all scrunched up Burgundy, strong Deep yellow & begging for food. Drinks more like a high end Bourgogne or better. From the mini mart….did I mention that? — 4 years ago

Liquore Strega

Saffron Liqueur

Strega is an interesting Italian liqueur...better described below. I only sporadically enjoy it, but it's fun and tasty at each sip.

"Strega is an herbal, saffron-infused liqueur deeply tied to the secret world of witchcraft. Witches are said to convene in Benevento to perform rituals and honor Il Noce, the sacred walnut tree. (The lower part of the logo shows witches dancing with demons around Il Noce.) According to legend, Giuseppe Alberti, son of a grocer, saved a witch from falling out of a tree in the woods. In gratitude, she gave him the recipe for an elixir, which the Alberti family began selling in 1860, perhaps as a curative or restorative.

The liqueur's proprietary recipe is a mix of 70 herbs and spices which include Ceylon cinnamon, Florentine iris, Italian Apennine juniper, Samnite mint, fennel, and saffron. Saffron is the key to Strega's signature yellow color and it shares the spotlight with mint and juniper as the most pronounced flavors within the herbal mixture."

Try before you buy, this isn't a pleaser for all palates, it is unique.

Cuvée Sélection Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022

Wild strawberry, cherry and leather bouquet. Somewhere between ruby and garnet in color with nice tension. Cherry wrapped in earthy, tannic, leathery notes with a dash of pepper for the palate. Finishes with an basil spice note. Medium light body. This is a sophisticated Bourgogne which satisfies that “I need something a little different tonight” feeling. — 2 years ago
