Taupenot-Merme Mazoyères Chambertin Grand Cru 2011

The 2011 Mazoyeres-Chambertin Grand Cru, which is populated by 54-year-old vines with a propensity for small berries due to millerandage, has a fuller and more aromatic bouquet when compared directly against the Charmes-Chambertin 2011, perfumed with lascivious ripe strawberry and cranberry aromas suffused with cold stone. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and fine tannins. It has a pleasant build in the mouth and yet the finish is understated, classic in style and very refined. This is just a Mazoyeres that you will want to abscond with. Drink now-2022. Score - 92. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013)
