The 2023 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Bourgogne Passetoutgrain is a vibrant and highly drinkable blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Gamay. Bright aromas of strawberry, raspberry and juicy red cherry are lifted by violet, cracked pepper and subtle earthy notes. The palate is light to medium-bodied, fresh and energetic, with succulent red fruit, gentle tannins and mouth-watering acidity. A fine mineral thread carries through the clean, lively finish, making this a charming red best enjoyed in its youth and served slightly cool.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to discover authentic Burgundy without the price tag of village or Premier Cru wines. Compared to traditional Bourgogne Rouge, the addition of Gamay brings greater freshness, vibrancy and immediate drinking appeal while still retaining classic Burgundian character. It’s the perfect introduction to Domaine Taupenot-Merme’s winemaking style and a fantastic option for casual entertaining, bistro dining or everyday enjoyment. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled sausages, duck pâté, mushroom dishes, picnic fare or classic French bistro cuisine.
