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.
"Elegant blue fruit perfume with sweet spice. Balanced with firm tannins and a long finish of bilberry."
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: 2027 - 2040
What the critics say:
"Cask sample. Mid-pale ruby. Soft floral notes of peony and rose, with red cherry and strawberry on the nose. Red fruits on the palate, too, with just a touch of citrus adding freshness. Very fine tannins. Filigree."
"Flowing, gentle and charming, this throbs with perky acidity and comforts with cuddly tannins. Cracked kindling, spice draw and oodles of strawberries ignite the palate. Thirst-quenching!"
"The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveau 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with brambly red berry fruit, rose petals and hints of bergamot tea unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with a sorbet-fresh opening, impressive delineation and transparency, a keen thread of acidity and a cohesive finish. Very fine."
