Taupenot Merme, Charmes Chambertin

Taupenot Merme, Charmes ChambertinA slightly riper and more complex nose of very earthy and slightly sauvage dark berry fruit aromas set of by a touch of wood spice leads to dense and attractively textured medium full flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel and I like the subtle sense of harmony as this is balanced, long and delicious while remaining altogether serious. There is a clean and crisp feel to the finish and only mild austerity. 92 2020+

there is a great balance of structure

Will last decades due to its perfect balance

Sourced from 4ha of 65-year-old vines on granitic soils in the lieu-dit of Les Bessards

though it perhaps does not possess the amplitude of the previous vintage

The second has an attractive minty bouquet

the azure backdrop at its purest on this

but you have to guide yourself by the palate

A serious wine that will live for decades

A really lovely expression of quite intense fruit - a little too intense to be truly elegant perhaps

mocha and floral nuances and slow-building tobacco and leather elements

honeyed gold fruits and smoked earth

this is so dense
