Burghound, January 2013

Discreet wood frames brooding and somber dark berry fruit aromas that are liberally laced with earth, humus, game and smoky nuances. There is excellent richness and intensity to the tautly muscled flavors that display imposing volume and energy before terminating in a solidly complex and impressively persistent finish where a hint of wood resurfaces. This should easily reward 10 to 12 years of cellar time.

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.
