Taupenot-Merme Gevrey Chambertin 2021

Taupenot-Merme owns 1.64Ha of village-designated vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin in the lieux-dits: La Justice, Craite Paille, Les Seuvrées, Bel Air. The youngest parcels were planted in 1986, and more than three-quarters of the vines went in between 1968 and 1971. 

“This is also relatively elegant and cool with its combination of wild red cherry, sauvage and discreet spice whiffs. The precise and almost lilting middleweight flavors possess a lovely sense of tension while displaying fine length on the youthfully austere and balanced finale. This could arguably use a bit better depth, but more should develop with a few years of keeping.” 89-91 Points. Outstanding. Allen Meadows, Burghound
