Domaine Taupenot Merme Chambolle Musigny 2022 england Vibrant and bright with richMedium red. Good musky complexity and lift to the aromas of raspberry, minerals and spices. More supple on the palate than the Auxey Duresses Premier Cru but without quite the same cut. Aeration brought up an element of crushed cranberry tartness, though, and the wine's edgy acidity and slightly dry edged tannins will need a couple years of bottle aging to harmonize. Finishes with decent length.
