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.
"Vibrant dark red fruit, brimming with energy. Harmonious with cherry and cranberry notes."
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: Now - 2034
What the critics say:
"Cask sample. Mid ruby. Red cherries, strawberries and spice. Generous, rounded fruit on the palate. Ripe and medium-bodied. Fresh, juicy acidity and moderately ripe tannins growing on the finish. All in balance, forward and quite open."
"Mid crimson in colour. A Gevrey very much in strawberry mode, which reflects the sector where most of the fruit comes from (Les Seuvrées, Craite Paille, Justice, plus a spot of Belair). Dense red fruit with a touch of acidity, very attractive in this style. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Nov 2024. ****"
