2016 Domaine Taupenot Merme Gevrey Chambertin Bel Air Premier Cru

The 2016 Taupenot-Merme Gevrey “Bel Air” has excellent depth at its core and a suave structural chassis and will be a superb wine with sufficient bottle age. The bouquet delivers a fine blend of red and black cherries, a complex base of dark minerality, mustard seed, a touch of gamebird, cedar and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and impressively tangy, with a sappy core, fine focus and grip and a long, ripely tannic and refined finish
