Burghound, January 2012

A very ripe nose of lightly spiced plum and plenty of dark berry fruit liqueur nuances gives way to rich, round and really quite generous flavors that culminate in a mineral-inflected, focused and highly vibrant finish. There is a real sense of energy here that along with the silky mouth feel make for a refreshing and highly sophisticated effort. Drink: 2018+

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2012

The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveau is all silkiness and elegance. Firm tannins support an expressive core of juicy red cherries, flowers, mint and spices, all of which wrap around the palate with notable persistence. A final burst of fruit informs the juicy, exuberant finish. Today the aromatics are a bit unexpressive, but they should open up over time. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. --- Antonio Galloni

About Winery

Beginning in 1999, a shift in responsibilities took place Chez Taupenot Merme - with the 7th generation taking over - and a host of viticultural changes were introduced. As these improvements were implemented, the wines benefited from greater personalities ("terroir"), deeper colors, more refined perfumes, and textures rendering the wines drinkable throughout their life cycles. Guided by a desire for purity, Romain and his sister Virginie:
    Completed the conversion to organics
    Experiment with "chauffage post fermentaire" (which gently extracts "noble" tannins)
    Work with 100% destemmed fruit (ala Henri Jayer)
    Rack their wines into oak for 12-15 months  of fine lees contact
    Reduced the amount of new oak (maximum of 40% for Grand Crus)
Including their less-than-barrique-sized quantity of Clos des Lambrays, this 30 acre estate is poised to be a leading domaine of the Cote.
