A good touch between classic and modern style. The Chambolle has good fruit purity without the vintage ripeness. Slightly muted compared to most 2015 but the wine grows on you with its subtlety.

This 2015 Taupenot Merme Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d’Orveaux is one of the best bottles from Taupenot Merme I have tasted, modern and lifted with soft extraction unlike the back vintages. Tasted blind - Sweet stems and lifted oak spices, smooth tannins with ripe red berries and tart raspberries. Good purity of rose petal and sweet oak. Stylistically somewhere in between Dujac and Georges Noellat. Gorgeous. (91/100)
Tasted after Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel-Air. Darker on the nose, floral notes, quite expressive; on the palate powerful, brooding, mineral. Very long. Equally impressive and promising. 92-93+
