Domaine Taupenot-Merme — Simplicity and elegance in Côte de Nuits

Located in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Taupenot-Merme is a passionate family estate known for producing wines that express the purest essence of Pinot Noir from historic terroirs.

For generations, the domaine has practiced careful viticulture, focusing on respectful farming and traditional winemaking that highlights finesse and natural tension.

Philosophy and winemaking

The domaine employs reasoned viticulture, often leaning towards organic and biodynamic methods. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted.

Natural fermentations take place in open vats, and aging is mostly done in old barrels with limited new oak to preserve freshness, minerality, and terroir expression.

Wine style

Taupenot-Merme wines are defined by aromatic purity, fine tannins, and elegant structure. The reds show aromas of red and black fruits, forest floor, with a long finish.

All cuvées balance power and delicacy, offering excellent aging potential.
