Domaine Taupenot-Merme

Domaine Taupenot-Merne offers both wines in Côte de Beaune (Auxey, Saint Romain) and Côte de Nuits. We owe this to the marriage of Jean Taupenot (originally from St Romain) with Denise Merme (originally from Morey) in 1963. Denise by virtue of her ancestry Merme comes from a very long line of emblematic winemakers of the Côte de Nuits.

The vines are on average over 40 years old and are now cultivated by Virginie and her brother Romain, the children of Denise and Jean. A family tradition aimed at preserving this magnificent vineyard plot. The last vintages at the estate are great successes, the wines are models of balance and aromatic purity, without over-extraction or excess alcohol. The new barrel is used sparingly and everything is done not to hide the magnificent grapes offered by the old vines of the estate. The wines also have excellent aging potential. A classic style that comforts us with the great wines of both coasts, fine and elegant Pinots ennobled by aging in luxury oak barrels .

All the magnums presented here come directly from the cellars of the Domaine, a chance and a real honor when you know the glowing reputation of the wines of Virginie and her brother Romain!
