Taupenot-Merme

2008 Taupenot-Merme Morey St.Denis

By billn on April 15, 2010

Dark, slightly herbal fruit. In the mouth this is full and masculine, there’s a stickiness to the tannin too. Lovely length – this lingers excellently.

2008 Taupenot-Merme Gevrey-Chambertin

Dark aromas, this time with hints of wood. In the mouth this starts much narrower than the Morey – it remains quite linear, never really competing with the width of that wine, but it’s intense and long.

2008 Taupenot-Merme Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveaux

Virginie must ahve mentioned at least 3 times that these vines are next to Musigny 😉 Understated dark fruit with a very pretty herbal dimension. Fine tannin. Narrow, linear, intense character. Balanced and displaying his is a honey of a wine – and did you know it’s very close to Musigny…

2008 Taupenot-Merme Nuits St.Georges Les Pruliers

Medium-plus colour. Again the aromas are dominated by dark fruits. Powerful, ripe fruit flavours with plenty of velvet. Excellent mid-palate dimension before the tannin saturates your tongue – makes the flavour last very long.

2008 Taupenot-Merme Mazoyères-Chambertin

By billn on April 15, 2010

Hints of oak dovetail with the dark fruit. Super-silky and (sorry I can’t help it…) super-sexy texture. Plenty of structure lies below the surface, but it is mainly buried. Very long, this is super.
