Robert Parker
Representing a 60-40 Pinot-Chardonnay blend from yet another single site in Merfy, but not one he chooses to mention on the label, the Chartogne-Taillet 2008 Brut is another of their bottlings to strikingly evoke clam and oyster liquors, both on a maritime nose and a silken, mouthwatering palate. This wine is so dominated by mineral characteristics – extending also to suggestions of chalk and wet stone in its long finish – that one has to count it as austere despite its flattering texture and overall refinement. Whether or not outright fruit flavors turn out to emerge with time , this is certainly going to be fascinating to follow for a few years, perhaps even a half dozen. - David Schildknecht
