The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced opening

pear and honeysuckle nuances

it has notes of apricot

Shows surprising vivacity for a hot-year wine and finishes spicy

becoming more marine like with aeration

Taupenot Merme, Chambolle Musigny Vintage:2020 The palate is well balanced(from Les Bussires and the portion of La Taupe near La Combe dOrveau). This also offers a noticeable step up in elegance with its pretty mix of red currant, plum, dark cherry and pretty spice wisps. I very much like the texture of the middle weight flavors that possess both good density and minerality that become more apparent as the lingering and youthfully austere finish sits on the palate. Lovely and very Chambollesque.
