Decanter, November 2018

This is one of Romain Taupenot's oldest vineyards, planted in 1948. Mazoyères seems to have fared better in the hot conditions of 2017 than neighbouring Charmes-Chambertin, as this wine has more acidity and depth than its...

The 2017 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Mazoyeres Chambertin is a Pinot Noir from the esteemed region of Burgundy, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region in Gevrey Chambertin. Produced by Domaine Taupenot-Merme, this wine is a testament to the vineyard's long-standing tradition, with vines planted in 1948.

This red wine, sealed with a cork closure, has an alcohol content of 13.5%. It has garnered considerable attention from wine reviewers, receiving high scores and praise for its complexity and character.

Vinous reviewer Neal Martin awarded the wine a score of 93, highlighting its "glorious bouquet of briary, blackberry, and cranberry scents, plus a touch of sous-bois." He noted the wine's medium-bodied palate with "supple tannins" and its fresh, energetic nature. However, he observed that the wine "loses a bit of energy" over time in the glass, which slightly impacted his overall score.

Decanter's review was particularly glowing, with a score of 96. They emphasized the wine's resilience in the hot conditions of 2017, noting that it "has more acidity and depth" compared to neighboring Charmes-Chambertin. The review praised its "good tension and depth with layers of sappy, chalky, dark berry fruit."

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy also gave the wine a score of 96, describing it as "bright, fresh red" with "plenty of energy" and "superb quality of fruit on the palate with a mineral crunch behind." He was particularly impressed by the wine's "boundless energy" and "magical finish." Morris noted that the bouquet continues to improve, featuring "floral intensity backed by ravishing fruit picked at the right time."

In summary, the 2017 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Mazoyeres Chambertin is a well-regarded Pinot Noir with notable complexity and depth. It has received excellent reviews, particularly from Decanter and Jasper Morris, who both awarded it a 96. Its fresh, energetic profile, combined with a rich bouquet and layered fruit, make it a standout wine from the 2017 vintage.
