Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin 2019 France Red Chateau Lynch-Bages It's easy to drink but

It's easy to drink but not banal

This fine sparkling wine is an amazing value

Firm but generous

This crisp and rather elegant dry Wachau riesling has so much delicate fruit

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin 2019 France Red Chateau Lynch-Bages It's easy to drink butThe 2019 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru has a straightforward focused bouquet with brambly red fruit briary and tea leaf aromas though it just lacks the assertiveness and intensity you seek from a Grand Cru. The palate is better with a light spiced opening good weight and cohesion with black pepper and sea salt infused red fruit. Quite Mazoyres in terms of structure towards the finish this will benefit from 4 6 years in bottle. 93 Pts Vinous
