Burghound, January 2012

A very serious and intensely earthy dark berry fruit nose leads to suave and velvety medium-bodied flavors that are supported by well-integrated tannins that are firm and ever-so-mildly rustic, all wrapped in a finish that possesses better than average duration. This won't win any awards for elegance but it's a fine example. ♥ - Comments: Outstanding

The 2009 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru is lovely. Sweet red berries, flowers, mint and spices emerge from this supple, entry-level offering. This is a very strong showing for the Auxey-Duresses. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. -Antonio Galloni

About Winery

Beginning in 1999, a shift in responsibilities took place Chez Taupenot Merme - with the 7th generation taking over - and a host of viticultural changes were introduced. As these improvements were implemented, the wines benefited from greater personalities ("terroir"), deeper colors, more refined perfumes, and textures rendering the wines drinkable throughout their life cycles. Guided by a desire for purity, Romain and his sister Virginie:
    Completed the conversion to organics
    Experiment with "chauffage post fermentaire" (which gently extracts "noble" tannins)
    Work with 100% destemmed fruit (ala Henri Jayer)
    Rack their wines into oak for 12-15 months  of fine lees contact
    Reduced the amount of new oak (maximum of 40% for Grand Crus)
Including their less-than-barrique-sized quantity of Clos des Lambrays, this 30 acre estate is poised to be a leading domaine of the Cote.
