Domaine Taupenot-Merme 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Romain Taupenot is the ninth generation to run this family domaine.  He first helped out at the domaine as a child, and then in 1998, assumed management alongside his sister, Virginie.  Romain considers the house style to be one of richness with freshness, relying on the innate quality of the sites they farm to deliver wines that are balanced and complete.  With an amazing assortment of vineyard sites, the hard-working Romain and Virginie are perfect ambassadors for this esteemed Burgundian terroir.  “This bottling features forest floor and spice box scents, with dark fruit and a long, elegant finish. Quite showy now, yet certain to continue to develop over the next decade.”--Chris Santini, Kermit Lynch Imports
