Taupenot Merme, Saint Romain 2023 White

Taupenot-Merme Saint-Romain Blanc 2023 is an elegant white Burgundy from a historic family domaine rooted in Morey-Saint-Denis. Made from Chardonnay, it combines bright freshness with refined texture, offering the poise and subtle complexity for which the domaine’s terroir-driven wines are known.

Tasting Notes
The wine is very clear in appearance, showing a pale yellow colour with delicate green highlights. Its aromatic profile opens with white flowers, ripe yellow fruit and notes of lightly toasted bread, while a gentle honeyed nuance can emerge with further bottle age. On the palate, lively freshness provides the structure, gradually softening into a rounded, harmonious texture. The balance between crispness and richness makes the 2023 both approachable in its youth and capable of developing greater softness and complexity over the coming years.

Production
Sourced from the Saint-Romain appellation in Burgundy, the wine reflects the region’s cool-climate character and limestone-influenced terroir. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed using a pneumatic press at low pressure. Following 24 hours of cold settling, alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks before continuing in oak barrels, 25% of which are new. The wine is then aged for 10 months on its fine lees without racking, helping to build texture while preserving freshness.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Its freshness and rounded texture make it a natural partner for grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, poultry in a creamy sauce, fresh goat’s cheese and delicate vegetable dishes. Decanting is not essential for this young white Burgundy, although a brief 15–20 minutes of aeration in a carafe can help open its floral and lightly toasted aromas.

Producer
Domaine Taupenot-Merme was officially established in 1963 following the marriage of Jean Taupenot and Denise Merme, although the family’s winemaking history reaches back to the 18th century. Today, seventh-generation winemakers Virginie and Romain manage approximately 19 hectares of vineyards, producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across prestigious Burgundy appellations. Based in Morey-Saint-Denis, the domaine is respected for wines of finesse and complexity, shaped by careful vineyard work and a minimalist approach in the cellar.
