The 2022 Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is an exceptional Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. Produced by the highly respected Domaine Taupenot-Merme, this wine showcases the richness, elegance and complexity that have made Charmes-Chambertin one of Gevrey-Chambertin's most sought-after sites. Aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry are layered with notes of rose petals, exotic spice and subtle forest floor complexity.
On the palate, it is beautifully concentrated yet remarkably refined, with vibrant acidity and silky, finely structured tannins supporting flavours of red and dark berries, sour cherry and savoury spice. The texture is seamless and harmonious, balancing power with elegance before leading to a long, dry finish with exceptional depth, mineral nuance and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a wine of both immediate beauty and long-term cellaring potential. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar over the next 15–20 years as further layers of complexity emerge. Pairs beautifully with roast duck, venison, wild mushroom dishes, game birds and aged hard cheeses.
