Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin 2019 France Red Bulgaria The second wine of Chäteau

The second wine of Chäteau Calon Ségur

plus a terrific tug of warm earth

but on the bone-dry palate you get chalky minerality

This wine is extremely approachable now with an hour of air or so but should sail for several years in the cellar

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin 2019 France Red Bulgaria The second wine of ChäteauThe 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
