Domaine Taupenot-Merme

La Combe d'Orveau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

2014 vintage. Decanted and chilled down slightly. Great cork. Smoky, reductive nose interspersed with dark plum. Medium body since this had shed the T-M winter coat. Raspberry, rhubarb and cranberry large and in charge initially but came back into the fold in due time with some forest floor and spearmint finishing touches/accents. Well knit. Absolute gamer and willing to be thrilling now and for the next 8-10 years. Showing so nicely. 4.18.26. — a month ago

Poured this btg for a solid year via Coravin. Nice balance. Seductive intro to Condrieu for many/most. This label looks like the Combe De Malleval Condrieu offering.

Domaine Rene Leclerc

Combe Aux Moines Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022

2022 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. Medium-medium heavy body. Vineyard from the highest point in Gevrey-Chambertin. Gorgeous throughout already with surprising, back-end spice fest. Tannins slightly muted but started to creep out after a few minutes in the glass. This likes to speed and is going places. 1.30.26. — 4 months ago

Excellent invention under the right circumstances. The 9 yrs of remaining storage after use, in my experience, overstated.

Clos Saint Jean

La Combe des Fous Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Pretty red color with medium intensity.

Fresh red berries on the nose with light milk chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, light earth, light wood, spices, coffee, herbs and dark chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This delicious 3 year old Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is starting to drink beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Still young, and from the great 2022 vintage. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Rich and fruit forward. Complex with a soft mouthfeel. Soft, pure and elegant.

The high alcohol is very well integrated. Spicy and entertaining. Well structured and precise.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Grapes are grown on aged vines of more than 100 years old. A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah. Aged in mostly concrete vats for 2 years. Syrah is aged in new French oak barrels.

16% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$125.
