Domaine Taupenot-Merme Morey-St-Denis La Riotte 2009 is a Premier Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from the climat of La Riotte in the village of Morey-St-Denis in the Côte de Beaune. The 2009 Taupenot-Merme La Riotte was produced from a single parcel of Pinot Noir vines planted in 1937. Domaine Taupenot-Merme was established in Morey-St-Denis in 1963. Now under the stewardship of Romain Taupenot, in recent vintages the domaine has emerged as one of the most consistent producers in the Côte de Beaune. "A big wine that is somewhat closed in on itself at this stage. Still, there is considerable energy in this tightly coiled, promising wine. The length, focus and intensity all suggest patience is key." Wine Advocate

The 2009 Morey Saint Denis La Riotte is gorgeous. Dark cherries, crushed rocks, menthol and balsamic spices come to life in the glass. The balance of fruit, tannin and acidity is first-rate. Floral notes develop on the finish adding lift, brightness and an attractive element of femininity. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

This is a very strong set of wines from Romain Taupenot. The 2009s are quite marked by the year. Today my preference is for the 2010s because the cooler year balanced some of the more overt, fruit-forward leanings that define the house style. Tasting all of the 2009s and 2010s together really brought the qualities of these two very different vintages into focus.
