The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru is showing a little reduction on the nose; there’s some charry oak here, not quite as clean as its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine balance and finer tannins than Taupenot-Merme's La Riotte. This shows impressive delineation and elegance toward the finish, which is persistent and satisfying. An excellent Morey-Saint-Denis. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Silky palate with cherry, mushroom, and forest floor up front and floral, tobacco, and cooling menthe notes behind. Brooding in youth, this is one for the cellar. Check back in 5-10 years — 11 years ago

Light on the aromas but so deep and lush with dark berry juice and spice. Added the remaining drops to the grape purée over shaved ice for dessert as well for a small touch of hedonism :) — 8 years ago

As with the same vintage and vineyard as the Taupenot-Merme enjoyed alongside this, it seems to have everything but finesse. — 4 years ago

Вишня, кассис, сухая малина, легкий зелёный тон, грибы, сухая земля. Среднее тело с достаточной кислотностью и спокойными танинами. Мощно и уверенно, ощутимо развито, корректно, но без большой свежести и элегантности. — 7 years ago

Held up very well for the cuvée and vintage. The acidity and tannins give it a fresh streak. A really fun wine! — 9 years ago

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. — 10 years ago
