Domaine Taupenot-Merme’s Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru 2014 is a Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, drawn from the estate’s 0.9-hectare parcel planted in 1959 on clay and limestone. The domaine, run by siblings Virginie and Romain Taupenot (with Romain overseeing winemaking), has worked “along organic principles since 2001.” At 13.5% alcohol, this is a classically proportioned grand cru built on concentration and structure rather than sheer weight.

Critical reception for the 2014 is notably strong, with multiple excellent reviews in the low-to-mid 90s. John Gilman (View From The Cellar) calls it “superb,” rating it **(94+)** and emphasizing its darker profile compared with the sister Charmes bottling: “more black fruity in personality,” with a bouquet of “sweet dark berries, black plums, espresso, bonfire, dark soil tones, vanillin oak and… currant leaf.” He describes a palate that is “pure, full-bodied and very refined,” finishing “long, tangy and nascently complex,” and he frames it as a long-haul wine (2025–2075).

Burghound’s **93** highlights the wine’s tension and clarity, praising a “ripe yet distinctly cool and ultra-fresh nose” showing “red berry fruit… earth, herbal tea and a soupçon of animale.” The review underscores the wine’s drive—“excellent cut and punch”—and points to a “muscular and intense” mid-palate with an “impressively long, complex and harmonious” finish, while noting it is “very firmly structured” and needs time.

Wine Spectator also awards an excellent **93**, describing a “broad, expressive red” where “sweet berry and spice flavors are a result of fruit and oak.” With aeration, it “reveals earth and tobacco accents that shade the cherry fruit,” and the magazine suggests drinking from 2020 to 2035. Wine Spectator reports **16 cases imported**, indicating limited availability in that market.
