Domaine Taupenot-Merme Corton Rognet Grand Cru France 2011 Flagey-Echezeaux this Pinot was made withA ripe and complex if brooding nose features notes of dark berry fruit, earth and game along with plenty of spice nuances. There is good power to the concentrated and broad shouldered flavors that are underpinned by relatively fine tannins on the impressively long finish. This firmly structured and very serious effort is also quite good. 92 Pts Burghound
