The 2007 Mazoyrès-Chambertin from Romain Taupenot is a superb example of this lovely vintage, offering up a blossoming nose of dark berries, black cherries, hung game, a touch of balsam bough, woodsmoke, a discreet base of vanillin oak and an excellent base of dark soil tones. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and quite elegant in profile, with a good core, modest tannins and lovely focus and grip on the wide open, pure and beautifully balanced finish. A lovely bottle that is still a few years away from primetime drinking, but is already quite accessible.
