2014 Taupenot-Merme Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte
Taupenot Merme
From one of Morey's leading premiers crus, with mostly very old vines and the same geology as Mazoyères, with calcareous soil rich in clay. Taupenot-Merme has a 2.5ha parcel and the estate's vines are about 55 years old.

Located in the middle of the Morey appellation, La Riotte makes comparatively muscular wines. There's a touch of reduction here, but the wine opens in the glass: savoury, mineral and complex with plum and black cherry fruit and good texture and volume.

Pungent. Sweet and spicy with real structure. Exciting!

Good bright red. Pretty, floral nose combines raspberry, rose petal and saline minerality. A silky, savoury midweight given definition and lift by tart red berry, violet and spice flavors. The wine's sweetness is nicely countered by its penetrating character. A classically dry 2014 with terrific energy, this has turned out very well. Romain Taupenot considers La Riotte to be an underrated premier cru.
