100% Chardonnay.
Colour: Bright and light straw colour.
Bouquet: The nose is very expressive, on citrus, grapefruit and minerality. Beautiful toasted, elegant and powerful notes complete this bouquet.
Palate: The palate is full to the attack, citrus and mineral flavours dominate. It is a racy, elegant, rather rich wine, also offering a lot of freshness. And what a long mouth!
Enjoy with lobster, shrimp, steam-cooked fish in light sauce, raw vegetables as first course, oysters cooked with leeks and truffles, tartiflette, risotto with peas, or white meats.
Like all white Burgundies of this quality, the Saint-Romain blanc should be served at a cellar temperature of about 14°C. (57°F.)
Pleasant when fresh and young, it can also be kept in the cellar 5 to 8 years after the vintage.
Sheltered by its spectacular cliffs, this appellation lies in the commune of the wine-growing area of Auxey-Duresses. Saint-Romain used to be part of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune but finally obtained the village appellation in 1947, taking into account the fabulous terroir that produce high quality wines. White Saint-Romain wines are very seductive, fresh and persistent. This appellation has one of the greatest value for money in Burgundy.
The soil type is made of a mixture of limestone and marl including patches of Jurassic clay. South/South-East and North/North east facing at an altitude from 280 to 400 m.
100% hand harvested, the Chardonnay grapes are sorted on a table at their arrival at the winery. After a delicate and slow pressing, the juices are cooled and then placed into Burgundian 228L oak barrels to finish the vinification process.
The wine is then aged on lees during 14 months and then blended and matured in stainless steel tank for 2 to 3 months.
The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.
The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.
The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.
In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
