Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru (2020)
The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin from Romaine Taupenot is a beautiful bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and utterly classical in profile, offering up scents of red and black cherries, plums, grilled meats, dark soil tones, mustard seed, bonfire and a nice touch of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and already quite suave on the attack, with a sappy core of fruit, marvelous transparency, ripe, seamless tannins, tangy acids and impeccable balance on the long, complex and focused finish. Fine, fine juice.
