Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin 2019 France Red Bulgaria walnut note

walnut note

This feels like a much more expensive wine

Light yellow

This rich and intense wine will benefit from careful cellaring for a decade

but on the bone-dry palate you get chalky minerality

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin 2019 France Red Bulgaria walnut noteThe 2019 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru has a straightforward focused bouquet with brambly red fruit briary and tea leaf aromas though it just lacks the assertiveness and intensity you seek from a Grand Cru. The palate is better with a light spiced opening good weight and cohesion with black pepper and sea salt infused red fruit. Quite Mazoyres in terms of structure towards the finish this will benefit from 4 6 years in bottle. 93 Pts Vinous
