Domaine Taupenot-Merme, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy, France, 2010, 750ml

The 2010 Charmes-Chambertin is mysterious, engaging and beautiful. Freshly cut roses, sweet red berries, spices and licorice are some of the nuances that are woven together in this impeccable, silky wine. There is no beginning and no end, just a pure expression of one of Burgundy’s greatest sites. This is a totally understated, gracious Charmes endowed with tons of harmony and pure class – 93-95 /100 points, Robert Parker / Wine Advocate

Great precision. Lovely stuff. Real intensity and crunchy fruit. Just great. Bitter cherries with real intensity. Romain thinks this is his best Charmes ever. Tight and exciting. – 18.5 / 20 points, Jancis Robinson
