About this Item
Domaine Taupenot-Merme is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, in Morey Saint Denis. The estate holds 13 hectares of vines, over 20 appellations in the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. Today, 9th generation proprietors, Romain Taupenot and his sister Virginie, manage this family estate. With its history dating back to the 17th century, the domaine became what it is today after the marriage of Romain’s parents, Denise Merme and Jean Taupenot, in the 1960s. With their union, they brought together the Saint-Romain parcels of the Taupenot family with those belonging to the Mermes family in Morey-Saint-Denis.
Critics Ratings
‘Here the expressive and complex nose is more deeply pitched with humus and underbrush notes adding breadth to the mostly dark berry fruit suffused and green tea aromas that also display plenty of sauvage character. This is both bigger and more concentrated than the Charmes with good muscle and punch to the detailed and intense finish that delivers excellent persistence. A classic Mazoyères of focused power and muscle. Drink 2024+.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound, 93/100 (Jan 2015)
‘This has plenty of cherry, currant and wild berry flavors locked up in a firm grip, ending with a mouthwatering finish. The tight weave and firm acidity and tannins should keep this fresh and youthful with time in the bottle. Best from 2018 through 2032. 215 cases made.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Oct 2015)
