Wild Dark Currants, Humus Earth, and Classic Gevrey Muscle

The 2022 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Gevrey-Chambertin Village is a wonderfully energetic, textured, and age-worthy red Burgundy that captures the authentic, earthy power of its famous village. Sourced from estate plots rich in clay and limestone, it opens with pure aromas of red cherry, dark currant, and humus-tinged earth framed by a subtle touch of wood. The palate is medium-bodied and mouth-filling, balancing dark berry fruit with excellent verve and firm structure.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Burghound 89-91 pts
Jasper Morris 90-92 pts
  • 89-91 Points (Outstanding) - Burghound (Allen Meadows): A discreet application of wood is present on the ripe yet cool aromas of mostly red cherry, wild dark currant and humus-tinged earth. There is both excellent verve and delineation to the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that deliver good power and persistence on the balanced, compact and nicely complex finale. This is a fine age-worthy Gevrey villages and worth your interest.
  • 90-92 Points ★★★★☆ - Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy): A bright purple, rich generous ripe fruit on the nose with a suggestion of velvet texture to follow, then a higher toned fresh red fruit, some strawberry beneath with a lifted acidity at the back. Very good. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Nov 2023.
  • The Muscular Terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin: Renowned for producing the most structured, wild, and savory red Burgundies in the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin features clay-rich limestone soils infused with iron marl. This unique terroir provides Pinot Noir with deep berry sap, firm tannic grip, and earthy undertones.
  • Organic Mastery at Domaine Taupenot-Merme: Led by sibling team Romain and Virginie Taupenot, this Morey-Saint-Denis-based estate spans 13 hectares across prestigious Burgundian appellations. Practicing organic viticulture, they employ minimal extraction and disciplined oak usage to allow each vineyard’s unique geological identity to shine through unadorned.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir organically farmed from prime village plots in Gevrey-Chambertin.
  • A radiant, age-worthy 2022 expression combining dark currant fruit, earth, and excellent verve.
  • Crafted by the renowned Domaine Taupenot-Merme, celebrated for their pure and authentic style.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby-red core with energetic crimson highlights at the rim.
  • Nose: Ripe, cool, and earthy. It opens with aromas of red cherries, wild dark currants, and plum, accompanied by notes of humus-tinged earth, wild hedgerow, and subtle wood spice.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and well-delineated. The entry delivers a rich wave of dark berry fruit supported by firm, fine-grained tannins. Driven by lively natural acidity, it finishes long, compact, and pleasantly complex.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 15–16°C. A gentle chill focuses the dark currant fruit and keeps the firm structure smooth.
  • Decanting: A 30-to-45 minute decant is recommended to allow the earthy aromatics and tannic structure to open. Enjoy now through 2032+.
  • Western Pairing: Beef Bourguignon, roasted duck breast, pan-seared venison, herb-crusted rack of lamb, or aged hard cheeses like Comté.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck, braised beef brisket, Cantonese barbecued pork (Char Siu), or wok-fried beef with black pepper.
