Domaine Taupenot-Merme is one of the very few producers to bottle Mazoyères-Chambertin under its own name rather than the more commercially recognised Charmes-Chambertin appellation, highlighting the estate’s belief in the individuality and superior character of this historic vineyard. Many critics consider Mazoyères-Chambertin to offer greater depth, structure and mineral complexity than Charmes-Chambertin, and the outstanding 2018 vintage has produced a wine of exceptional concentration, harmony and longevity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003eThe nose is intensely expressive and beautifully layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry and dark raspberry alongside violet, rose petal and exotic spice. As the wine opens, notes of cedar, clove and forest floor emerge, complemented by hints of roasted coffee, graphite, crushed stone and subtle earthy complexity. The aromatic profile is both powerful and remarkably refined, balancing the richness of the 2018 vintage with the floral elegance and mineral precision that distinguish Mazoyères-Chambertin. Critics have noted its darker fruit profile, sappy acidity and impressive concentration. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"2241\"\u003eOn the palate, it is full-bodied with extraordinary concentration, velvety tannins and exceptional balance. Layers of black cherry, blackberry and cassis unfold seamlessly across the palate, supported by savoury spice, liquorice, earthy complexity and a profound limestone-driven mineral backbone. The warmth of the 2018 vintage contributes remarkable richness and depth, while vibrant acidity maintains freshness and precision throughout. The tannins are abundant yet beautifully buried within the fruit, creating a wine of immense power without heaviness. The finish is exceptionally long, refined and persistent, carrying lingering notes of dark fruits, spice, graphite and crushed stone. The style is majestic and age-worthy, combining the authority of Gevrey-Chambertin with the finesse that defines the finest Grand Crus. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2243\" data-end=\"3150\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2243\" data-end=\"2268\"\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2271\"\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for serious Burgundy collectors and lovers of Grand Cru Pinot Noir.

It stands comfortably alongside the finest Grand Crus of the Côte de Nuits and represents one of Burgundy’s most compelling collector’s wines. Drink from 2028 onwards or cellar confidently through to 2050 and beyond. Perfect with roast pigeon, duck breast, venison, beef Wellington, wild mushrooms, truffle-infused dishes or the finest French cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 152px;\" width=\"846\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaupenot-Merme\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine More Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39915357733059,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/products\/2018_Taupenot-Merme_Mazoyeres_Chambertin_Grand_Cru.jpg?v=1782906527","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2018-taupenot-merme-mazoyeres-chambertin-grand-cru","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
