Servi au restaurant "le clown gourmand " à Chalon. Premier verre un peu froid, mais fruits rouges et noirs très présents au nez. Ensuite, les tannins ressortent et le reste est très plat. Décevant, il était sans doute trop tard.

Burgundy 2012 Day 3: Visit to Taupenot-Merme (Morey-St. Denis, Burgundy): Lovely - this has really grown over the last one-and-a-half years in the bottle, showing beautifully this time round. A blend of grapes from the Duresses and Grands Champs vineyards, it had a beautiful nose of strawberry and flower aromas touched with bits of earth, meat and spice. The palate was such a delight. It was fresh, lively, showing gobs of really juicy acidity, yet without having the bright, aggressiveness of some 2007s - almost like biting into a juicy fruit, with lovely flavours of dark cherries and berries underscored by a fine, earthy minerality. It was really approachable, but its youth was still apparent at the finish, with some chewy tannins underlying more flowery acccents. Still though, I found this very good indeed. Good now, this will be lovely in a couple of years' time.

Deep Red colour. Great fruity Pinot nose. Fresh and good fleshy fruit on the palate. Good concentration and weight. Some tannins and pepper in finish. Great QPR.

Sweet cherries perfumed nose. Subdued peppers n floral notes. Initial Salty-ness that transforms to fleshy tannins n a dry finish that stretches very roundly. Less on the big fruits and complexity but its a smooth drinking wine. Quite acidic but its masked by its salty fruitiness
