2016 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte, Domaine Taupenot-Merme

This plot of just over half a hectare is planted with 60+ year old vines. Just as a premier cru should be, this is like Romain’s village Morey, but a level up. There’s more concentration and intensity to that brambly fruit, with great freshness and lift on the finish.

2016 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte, Domaine Taupenot-Merme
Domaine Taupenot-Merme

In the words of Neal Martin in The Wine Advocate, this is “a domaine that has improved immensely in recent vintages, armed with an impressive array of holdings and fashioning classic, restrained Chardonnay and Pinot Noirs.” We don’t disagree. Eponymous winemaker Romain Taupenot is a delight to taste with, candid and engaging, and his wines are equally delightful. They’re a lesson in the reasons why sensitive handling of great vineyards leads to equally great wines.
