Domaine Taupenot-Merme Bourgogne Rouge 2015

“Vines are in Morey Saint Denis. The area of the vineyard is 0.5 hectares. The average age of the vines is 35 years. The grapes, harvested by hand, are transported in small 20 kg boxes to the winery in order to avoid crushing berries, oxidation and uncontrolled pre-fermentation macerations. The grapes are sorted in order to finish a fine selection of grapes at maturity. Maceration lasts 18 to 23 days in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. The pneumatic pressing is carried out by fractionation and at low pressure to extract the most noble tannins. The ageing is carried out in oak barrels. Elevage is 14-16 months.” -Importer
