Give it 30-45 minutes in a decanter; modern Burgundy is made reductively and \"La Taupe\" needs a little air to wake up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe nose opens on \u003cstrong\u003efresh red cherry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate\u003c\/strong\u003e, lifted by a top note of crushed rose petal and a hint of orange peel. With time in the glass, the secondary aromas walk in — \u003cstrong\u003ewet earth, white pepper, dried tobacco leaf, and a whisper of forest floor\u003c\/strong\u003e — exactly what you want from old-vine Pinot grown next to Pommard. The oak is invisible (10% new, 10 months — restraint by design).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the palate it's \u003cstrong\u003emedium-bodied, energetic, and built around acid rather than fruit weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e Red cherry and tart cranberry up front, then a gentle savory pivot — dried herbs, iron, a faint salinity — before fine, chalky tannins grip the finish. The 70-year-old vines show in the \u003cstrong\u003elength and the seriousness of the structure\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than in concentration; this is a wine of detail and lift, not power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish is peppery and persistent, with a cool mineral echo that lingers longer than the price would suggest.\u003c\/strong\u003e Drinks beautifully now through 2028.
