Domaine Taupenot-Merme Gevrey-Chambertin 2017

 The bouquet is elegant and very pure, wafting from the glass in a fine blend of red and black cherries, roses, woodsmoke, dark soil tones and a nice touch of gamebird.

On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and impressively soil-driven in personality, with a sappy core of fruit, moderate tannins and fine focus and grip on the long and complex finish.
