2024 Saint-Romain Blanc, Domaine Taupenot-Merme

Romain has received further vineyards in Saint-Romain from the Taupenot side of the family that originated in the village (the Mermes are from the Morey side) over the last couple of years, the timing of which has been quite fortuitous given the two small vintages of ’24 and ’25. Saint-Romain is really quite high up behind the vineyards of AuxeyDuresses and the wines tends to be full of verve and energy which this very much is. Yet there is also some nice underlying fat and that nice mix of pink grapefruit and dry extract gives the wine wonderful sapidity. This can only get better. Drink from 2028
