WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Taupenot-Merme employs a winemaking process focused on natural expression. Fermentation is carried out using native yeasts in open wooden or concrete vats, with gentle maceration techniques. No commercial yeasts, bacteria, or enzymes are used. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in French oak barrels for 12 to 15 months, with varying percentages of new oak depending on the wine's appellation. The domaine utilizes hand-harvesting to ensure grape quality. Minimal fining and filtration are performed before bottling, and sulfur usage is kept to a minimum. Sustainable and organic farming practices are integral to their vineyard management.
