Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Taupenot-Merme, 2021

Last year Neal Martin said “Duroché’s style of wine is very much in the mold of… Romain Taupenot in Morey-Saint-Denis” and that the latter is now “one of the most reliable and exciting estates” and we wholeheartedly concur.

Romain continues to oversee the inexorable climb of this fantastic domaine, now indisputably in the premier League, whilst retaining its value proposition. He crafts wines of structure, clear vineyard expression, and complexity from an exciting array of vineyards, and the wines are high class examples of their appellations.
