Domaine Taupenot-Merme Chambolle-Musigny, Cote de Nuits, France

Critics might argue that the 1987 Chambolle-Musigny is too alcoholic to be a textbook example of the appellation, but it has excellent ripeness and a seductive plumpness. It should be drunk by 1992-1993. I have had little experience with the domaine of Jean Taupenot, but his wines are aged in 50% new oak barrels and half the grapes are destemmed prior to the fermentation. Based on the last several vintages, the wines tend to be very peppery, slightly herbaceous with a lot of ripe berry fruit. They also exhibit a great deal of texture and soft tannins in the finish.
