The 2023 growing season at Taupenot Merme began with a mild winter, followed by moderate spring and summer temperatures, and avoided extreme heat spikes. Early budbreak in April, mid-blossom in June, and veraison by late July led to a harvest from September 11-25, following a cooler, rainy spell in late August. Despite a season marked by an overall water deficit, careful organic management and two green harvests in July produced a balanced crop.
"Blue and black cherry aromas with five spice and tarragon. Intense blackberry and loganberry flavors with a mineral, tannic core and a refined touch."
Our note
The 2023 wines show moderate acidity with alcohol levels ranging from 12.3-13.6%, and phenolic ripeness reached across each cuvée. Reflecting a restrained, terroir-driven vintage, these wines lean towards elegance and subtle expression, rather than overt power.
The domaine features as one of the Top 20 Côte de Nuits Red Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
Optimal drinking window: 2028 - 2044
What the critics say:
"Cask sample. Mid ruby. Fresh red fruits on the nose and concentrated palate: red cherry, strawberry and redcurrant. There are plenty of abundant tannins, but these are balanced and not hard. Some sweetness to the fruit on the finish, with zest and length."
"Deep in color, Romain feels this behaves more like a Côte de Nuits wine this year, and I see his point. It is certainly concentrated and takes on blacker fruit tones with blackberry preserves, black cherries and underbrush. Grosgrain tannins mesh with vivacious acidity, pulling the robust fruit core into a steady finish. There's real amplitude here."
"Deepish purple. A weight of fruit on the cusp of red and black, which is working really well, A huge intensity in the fruit expression, with all the right structure behind, enough tannin and a little acidity, all in perfect balance. Very successful. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Nov 2024."
