Domaine Taupenot-Merme Auxey-Duresses Rouge is a C\u00f4te de Beaune Pinot Noir from a small 0.4-hectare parcel in the Les Cloux lieu-dit, planted in 1953. The domaine, run by Virginie and Romain Taupenot, follows organic practices and focuses on precise site expression through low yields, hand harvesting and rigorous grape selection.<\/p>\n
The fruit is fully destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts after a cold pre-fermentation maceration, with gentle extraction through punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine then ages for 12 to 15 months in oak barrels, with a restrained proportion of new wood. In the glass it shows cherry, blackcurrant, violet flowers and earthy, spicy notes. The palate is fresh and mineral, with fine tannins, good depth and a long, balanced finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
