Tonight's bottle · White Burgundy, mineral, breathtaking
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet
🇫🇷Burgundy, France · Chardonnay
The platonic ideal of white Burgundy — chalk and cream and the briefest suggestion of toasted oak. Mineral in a way that feels geographic, specific, true. Worth opening for a novel that earns it. Not for every Tuesday, but for the Tuesday that matters.

- Match № 01 · Quiet dignity, fading light, English restraintThe Remains of the Dayby Kazuo IshiguroWhy this works
The kind of precision and restraint that makes you understand what all the fuss was about. Stevens would have decanted it perfectly.
- Match № 02 · Antiquarian dust, gilded griefThe Goldfinchby Donna TarttWhy this works
Breathtaking and expensive in feeling — the wine for a novel obsessed with beautiful things and what they cost.
