Morey Saint Denis AOC 2021 – Domaine Taupenot-Merme

Located in the heart of Morey-St-Denis, alongside the prestigious Clos du Lambrays Grand Cru vineyard, Domaine Taupenot-Merme was born in 1963 from the marriage of Jean Taupenot and Denise Merme and is now run by their children Romain and Virginie. For a long time the Domaine was managed with two separate properties, one in Saint-Romain (the maternal property) and one in Morey-St-Denis (the paternal property), which were then unified in 1998.
Domaine Taupenot-Merme works exclusively on estate and organic vineyards. The vineyard park consists of 13 hectares of vines, dislocated between Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, with estates in Grand Cru, 1er Cru and Village vineyards. Jean and Denise expanded the vineyard plots by acquiring a parcel in the prestigious 1er Cru Les Pruliers in Nuits-St-Georges in 1999 and in 2005 with the acquisition of half a hectare in the Grand Cru Corton Rognet. Among the winery’s most coveted and valuable vineyards is a very small parcel of Clos de Lambrays, adjacent to the winery, which has become a real thorn in the side of the Domaine of the same name, which for years has aspired to make this Grand Cru a Monopole.
The particular terroir of Chambolle-Musigny produces sensuous and fragrant Pinot Noirs of extraordinary complexity, among the most acclaimed in Burgundy.
