Domaine Taupenot-Merme "La Combe d'Orveau" Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru 2020

93 Points John Gilman

Romaine Taupenot’s 2020 la Combe d’Orveau is a fine, fine example of the vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a refined blend of cassis, a touch of black raspberry, coffee bean, a lovely base of soil tones, woodsmoke, pigeon and cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and vibrant, with a lovely core of fruit, fine lift and focus, ripe, buried tannins and a long, complex and tangy finish. Fine juice in the making. (
