JOHN GILMAN
Romain Taupenot’s 2019 Charmes-Chambertin is an excellent wine in the making and not cut from the same powerful cloth as the Corton. The bouquet is bright, red fruity and complex, wafting from the glass in a blaze of cherries, blood orange, grilled meats, mustard seed, lavender, coffee and a touch of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and beautifully balanced, with a sappy core of fruit, fine-grained tannins, excellent focus and a long, soil-driven and refined finish. First class Charmes! 93+

VINOUS
The 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 Mazoyères in terms of structure towards the finish, this will benefit from 4-6 years in bottle.
