2014 vintage. Decanted and chilled down slightly. Great cork. Smoky, reductive nose interspersed with dark plum. Medium body since this had shed the T-M winter coat. Raspberry, rhubarb and cranberry large and in charge initially but came back into the fold in due time with some forest floor and spearmint finishing touches/accents. Well knit. Absolute gamer and willing to be thrilling now and for the next 8-10 years. Showing so nicely. 4.18.26. — 2 months ago

This was fairly tight when opened so gave it 90 min of air where it showed black cherry, berry fruits with dried herbs, spice, crushed rock, mineral & violet — 3 years ago

This is the white, not the red. Nice mineral freshness. Nose also has some somewhat brothy apple-pear fruit. Deeply flavored in the mouth. Really fine value (for a white burg). — a year ago

The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru is showing a little reduction on the nose; there’s some charry oak here, not quite as clean as its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine balance and finer tannins than Taupenot-Merme's La Riotte. This shows impressive delineation and elegance toward the finish, which is persistent and satisfying. An excellent Morey-Saint-Denis. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

As with the same vintage and vineyard as the Taupenot-Merme enjoyed alongside this, it seems to have everything but finesse. — 5 years ago

Held up very well for the cuvée and vintage. The acidity and tannins give it a fresh streak. A really fun wine! — 9 years ago

This has a bit more teeth. Darker, bolder red berries, light caramel, butterscotch notes, tree sap, twig, florals for days, what balance, length and elegant finish. Definitely my wheelhouse. Red burgundy candy in a good way. Great now but meant for the cellar. 8-10 yrs. — 4 months ago

Dark rubi robe, nose of black fruits and flowers. Very rich wine but well balanced. Really good now but will be better with 4 or 5 more years in the cellar. Great stuff. — 10 months ago

Incredibly fresh, concentrated and balanced. Perfumed nose of cranberries, raspberries, hint of underbrush, roses, white pepper. Extra long finish that accentuates the balance of floral, fruit and secondary aroma. Great effort. — 4 years ago

Core of iron-like mineral. Some dark fruit and spice well integrated with the mineral profile — 5 years ago

Вишня, кассис, сухая малина, легкий зелёный тон, грибы, сухая земля. Среднее тело с достаточной кислотностью и спокойными танинами. Мощно и уверенно, ощутимо развито, корректно, но без большой свежести и элегантности. — 8 years ago
