Domaine Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin 2019 France Red Chateau Lynch-Bages Soft and rounded with acidityThe 2019 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru has a straightforward focused bouquet with brambly red fruit briary and tea leaf aromas though it just lacks the assertiveness and intensity you seek from a Grand Cru. The palate is better with a light spiced opening good weight and cohesion with black pepper and sea salt infused red fruit.
