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.

Incredibly fresh, concentrated and balanced. Perfumed nose of cranberries, raspberries, hint of underbrush, roses, white pepper. Extra long finish that accentuates the balance of floral, fruit and secondary aroma. Great effort. — 2 years ago
Core of iron-like mineral. Some dark fruit and spice well integrated with the mineral profile — 3 years ago

2017 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 mins. Medium-heavy body but starting to thin out slightly. Taupenot-Merme is one of the "bigger bodied" Burgs. Wanted more earth but got more spice instead. Decent compromise. Seems like another 3-4 years would find this hitting the optimal sweet spot. 8.23.24. — a month ago
