2015  Les Pruliers

Les Pruliers -- "This is often Taupenot's best 1er and in 2015 it is again with its brooding aromas of spice, earth, the sauvage, cassis and plum that exhibit interesting wisps of leather and smoke. There is outstanding concentration and muscle to the punchy medium weight plus flavors that conclude in a beautifully long and notably firm finish of focused power and seriously good depth. This balanced effort is built-to-age and will need it. Check it out." - 93pts/Outstanding, Burghound

2014  Bel Air

Bel Air -- "A cool, pure and restrained nose displays the attractively fresh essence of red pinot fruit, lavender and discreet earth nuances. There is equally good freshness and detail to the utterly delicious, complex and mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that display a taut muscularity as well as a sophisticated mouth feel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the saline and impressively intense finish. This too is really quite good and worth checking out." - 92pts/Outstanding BH

"The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is probably now just a step ahead of the Clos Saint-Denis on the nose: stunning violet-infused red fruit with veins of blueberry that unfold exquisitely. The palate is silky smooth in texture, lightly spiced with a cornucopia of mineral-driven red fruit that convey just the right degree of flamboyance. Outstanding." - 97pts Neal Martin, Vinous

2017  

"This is the first wine in the range to display reductive notes and while I expect that they are largely due to the very recent bottling, I would suggest decanting this if you're going to crack a bottle in the next 12 months or so. Otherwise there is once again an attractive sleekness to the precise and vibrant medium weight flavors that brim with minerality that really comes to the fore on the impressively complex and persistent finish that is somewhat linear at present. I would expect this to flesh out with bottle age." - 92pts Burghound

2015  1er Cru Les Borniques

Certified organic, Borniques borders grand cru Musigny and sits east-facing above premier cru ‘Amoureuses’ with soils are nearly identical to grand cru Musigny, limestone and veins of white and yellow clay. Vine ages range from 40-60 years. Aged 43% in clay jars and 57% in older French oak barrels. Tasting Note: An appealingly fresh nose once again exhibits a subtle hint of menthol that combines with plum, black raspberry and subtle spice notes. There is excellent richness to the concentrated and unusually powerful broad-scaled flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that saturates the palate on the wonderfully intense and solidly firm finish. This is quite serious but even so it is more refined than the Charmes. - BH Pair with grilled red meat; aged, soft-rind French cheese or game meats.

2011  Grand Cru

" Initially this was also a bit grapey but after 30 minutes of air the nose becomes much spicier with better depth on the dark berry fruit aromas. There is good richness to the very round and supple medium-bodied flavors that possess equally good complexity on the delicious and relatively accessible finish that delivers fine if not truly exceptional length. While not a great Clos de Bèze this is certainly a classy drink with good material that should allow upwards of 10 years of development yet also be approachable young." 91pts BH
