Domaine Taupenot Merme Auxey Duresses Premier Cru 2021
Vintage Character
Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru 2021 from Taupenot-Merme is a refined expression of Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir, capturing the elegance and vibrancy characteristic of this esteemed Burgundy appellation. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a cool spring and significant frost events, resulting in reduced yields but heightened concentration and freshness in the fruit—a year that highlights purity, tension, and classic structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine opens with aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and rose petals, layered with subtle earthy undertones and a gentle hint of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and fine, silky tannins, revealing layers of red berry fruit and a touch of savory minerality that lead to a graceful, persistent finish. Its bright energy and precision make it a versatile partner for dishes such as roast duck breast with cherry sauce, grilled pork tenderloin, or a mild French cheese like Saint-Nectaire.
Winery Background
Domaine Taupenot-Merme is a family-owned estate with a lineage in Burgundy dating back to the 18th century, now overseen by Romain Taupenot. The domaine is committed to organic vineyard practices and minimal intervention in the cellar, emphasizing the authentic expression of each vineyard site. Their holdings span several prestigious appellations across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, with a philosophy rooted in respect for terroir, traditional vinification, and careful use of oak to preserve finesse and balance. This dedication to transparency and site expression has earned Taupenot-Merme a respected reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts worldwide.
