This is certainly good but 2017 is not a great vintage for this wine

The 2010 Cote Rotie la Turque is a much more masculine and edgy wine that's going to reward cellaring

Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is terrific

it reveals scents of bell pepper

Taupenot Merme, Gevrey Chambertin Bel Air other_regions This is certainly good but(a little known 1er that sits directly above Chambertin Clos de Bze made from vines planted in 1973). An airy red pinot fruit nose nuanced by a lovely mix of game, earth, iron, underbrush and a touch of the sauvage that continues onto the supple, delicious and very pinot flavors yet the finish is intensely earthy and serious. In sum, this is an attractive mix of beautiful fruit and ample Gevrey character, particularly on the explosive finish.
