Domaine Taupenot-Merme La Combe d'Orveau 2020 France Champagne Drappier Give this at least fiveA ripe but notably fresher nose speaks of dark cherry, raspberry, anise, violet and a hint of exotic tea. The much finer medium bodied flavors are also more minerality driven while offers excellent length on the balanced finale. This too is very Chambollesque and a wine that should amply repay a decade plus of keeping. 93 Pts Allen Meadows
