Taupenot Merme

This is a domaine that I have followed since before writing about wine. Over the years I have witnessed immense improvement in quality under Romain Taupenot, as evidenced by a vertical of Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte in May 2018. Theirs is a classic style of Burgundy, lighter perhaps than some of their peers in Morey-Saint-Denis, consistently fresh and tensile with ever-increasing terroir expression.

“I was a bit anxious that 2017 might lack some freshness but it doesn’t at all and feels very terroir-driven. The vintage reminds me of the 2007s in terms of its floral touch, but with more concentration.”

There are a clutch of wonderful wines from Taupenot-Merme, and not just at the top of the hierarchy. Granted, the Mazoyères-Chambertin is extremely fine, but here is (yet another) very impressive Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers and one of the finest Corton-Rognets that I have encountered from the domaine. The Chambolle-Musigny la Combe d’Orveau approaches Grand Cru in terms of quality, whilst few Village Crus from any domaine can match Taupenot’s Gevrey-Chambertin…. these 2017s consolidate Taupenot-Merme’s position as one of the most reliable and exciting estates. NEAL MARTIN, Vinous

Taupenot is a domaine that, like many of their contemporaries, have been pushing the quality and fine tuning the house style now for some time. For me I really started to see this work come to fruition some years back and now I think that Virginie and Romain have found their groove. Today the wines show remarkably clear vineyard expression, a wonderful soil to glass transfer of character. They tend towards lighter extraction and more focus on purity than was the case in the past.

If you are looking for supple, refined and site/commune specific expressions then Taupenot should on your radar. ROSCOE

Taupenot Merme / Burgundy / France / Pinot Noir / 2013

Some initial oak sweetness on the nose. Peppery and smells so fresh and energetic. Beautifully balanced between bright pure fruit, lively acidity and the finest of almost-silky tannins. Rather delicate but long. JULIA HARDING MW

Bright medium ruby. Medium intensity with fragrant violets, sherbert cherry and crushed rocks, - very Vosne. Medium bodied, fine light on its feet and elegant, pure cherry fruits, violets and plenty of energy. Lovely and fine with the oak better hidden. Wood frames the mineral finish with medium plus persistence. This is excellent and very true to Vosne Romanee. Recommended. SEBASTIAN ZOTTI
