This 2021 Auxey Duresses white, from the esteemed Domaine Taupenot-Merme, is expected to be a vibrant and expressive Chardonnay. On the nose, look for enticing aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and a distinct mineral freshness, possibly with a subtle hint of almond or brioche from careful aging. The palate will be crisp and elegant, showcasing bright acidity balanced by flavors of citrus, pear, and wet stone. It will possess a medium body, a smooth texture, and a long, clean finish that speaks to its Burgundian terroir and the precision of the 2021 vintage.
