Domaine Taupenot-Merme Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019

The family owns 0.85Ha of vines on the grand cru, spread over two plots planted in 1958 and 1959.

"The 2019 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru has a little more intensity than the Charmes-Chambertin, damp undergrowth, moss, light leafy aromas tincturing the mainly red fruit and developing more and more earthiness with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Taut and fresh with perhaps the most saline finish of all Romain Taupenot's cuvées this year, … more

Francois Millet & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Le Fourneau 2018

As you drive from Morey in the south there is a small valley at the start of the Gevry appellation where the Combe is, then you rise up on to the plateau. Le Fourneau sits on the right hand side of the road on this plateau. East facing. Same latitude as Clos de Beze. Apparently in the past there was a furnace in the area, people bringing iron to the site to melt hence the name. Le Fourneau means Furnace, … more

Jean-Marie Fourrier Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018

Negociant Wine.... "Jean-Marie Fourrier has slowly started branching out with his eponymous négociant operation that be began in 2011 with three wines. In 2013 and 2014 he expanded the range of offerings considerably though with several key principles in mind.

Louis Jadot Chambertin Grand Cru 2017

"Here too there is a whiff of a similar varnish character but in this case it is so subtle that it doesn't overly detract from the pretty and cool aromas of red and dark cherry, spice and forest floor. The seductively textured yet powerful and muscular stony large-scaled flavors terminate in an exceptionally firm, long and balanced finish. This is a 'buy and forget I own it' wine." 91-94, Drink 2035+ - Burghound, Issue 74

Louis Jadot Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru 2016

"A pungent nose is composed of strong wood and equally strong reduction. Otherwise there is a round and velvety texture to the muscular big-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and ample amounts of dry extract while displaying first-rate persistence on the bitter cherry inflected finish that is on the rustic side. This too is very much built-to-age and is going to need at least 6 to 8 years first to better harmonize and integrate the oak treatment." 91-94, Drink … more
