Domaine Merme

Joseph Drouhin

Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1999

1999 vintage comparison of two producers. All had the complexity of the year and region. One corked Drouhin (CdV) and one corked Taupenot-Merme (MSD). But back-ups were available.

Stars included the T-M Chambolle Musigny and Charmes Chambertin with great balance and wonderful forest aromas, and the Drouhin Clos de Vougeot and Charmes Chambertin with growing richness and a touch of saline.

Some had only a brief arc of balance, but the GC's were pleasing throughout the evening.
