Neighboring Clos de Tart and Clos de Lambrays, the Domaine Taupenot Merme boasts just over 13 hectares of the finest Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune appellations. Virginie and Romain arrived at the estate ten years ago to take over from their father, and have breathed new life into the estate by completely transforming the winemaking style and converting the estate to organic farming. A top-class estate, where each wine is a perfect reflection of its terroir!
