The 2022 Taupenot-Merme Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru is a remarkable Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey-Chambertin's most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. Produced by the highly regarded Domaine Taupenot-Merme, this wine combines the power and structure of Mazoyères-Chambertin with the elegance and precision that define the estate's style. Aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry and raspberry are layered with notes of rose petals, exotic spice, forest floor and subtle mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is richly concentrated yet beautifully refined, with vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins supporting flavours of dark berries, sour cherry and savoury spice. The texture is seamless and harmonious, balancing depth with freshness before leading to a long, dry finish marked by exceptional persistence, complexity and Grand Cru pedigree.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and serious Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a wine with both immediate appeal and extraordinary ageing potential. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar over the next 15–25 years as further layers of complexity emerge. Pairs beautifully with roast duck, venison, wild mushroom dishes, game birds and aged hard cheeses.
