2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel-Air, Domaine Taupenot-Merme
From the only premier cru that borders Chambertin or Clos de Bèze, this is beautifully balanced in 2018.This has dark berries and cool mineral notes, and also a touch of opulent spice on the finish. Silky and suave, and pleasingly cool.
