Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, Domaine Taupenot-Merme, 2019 comes from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most historic walled vineyards, sitting just above the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. It's a true Grand Cru in every sense: a large, enclosed vineyard with a mosaic of soils — limestone, marl and clay — spread across different elevations and exposures. This natural variation gives the wine both depth and nuance, combining power from the lower, richer soils with finesse and lift from the higher, stonier sections. Taupenot-Merme’s parcel within the clos is handled with their usual measured, terroir-first approach, focusing on clarity, structure and ageing potential rather than sheer weight. The site itself is known for producing wines that sit stylistically between the muscular intensity of Clos de Tart and the silkier charm of Bonnes-Mares. The 2019 vintage in Burgundy was warm and dry, yet remarkably balanced. Low yields and thick-skinned berries delivered concentration and structure, but crucially the wines retained freshness and definition. In the grands crus, 2019 has produced bottles of real depth and authority, with the balance to age beautifully. It’s widely regarded as one of the standout vintages of the decade.
