The wine was slowly fermented at cold temperature to preserve more of the aromatics and acidity as well as achieving fuller and viscous body

this bottling is the first of two complementary bourbons

This has serious structure and tannin that continue to unfurl even after 3 days open

brioche and a kiss of toasty spices on the palate

A profound commitment and respect for the land

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte 2018 (Case only) brand_Podere Prospero The wine was slowly fermentedThe Morey Saint Denis La Riotte 1er Cru has a well defined bouquet of tart red cherries and briary and fern scents, focused and displaying nicely integrated oak, though it loses some of its charm and complexity in the glass. The palate is medium bodied with chewy tannins, peppery red berry fruit and a grippy, saline finish. A little brutish compared to the showing in barrel. Maybe it will manifest more refinement in bottle.
