Value objects with Dapper

I have an entity with an aggregated value object, like this:

public class Address {
    public string Town { get; set; }
    public string Street { get; set; }
    public string Region { get; set; }
    ...
}

public class Contact {
    public Int32 Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public Address Address { get; set; }
}

My persistence model is a single table with the following fields: Id, Name, Street, Town, Region, ecc. Is it possible to Create/Read/Update/Delete entities in this situation with Dapper?
