This Saint-Romain is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on a southwest-facing plot at an altitude of 300 meters in the lieu-dit "Sous Roches." The soil, composed of shallow, white calcareous marl, is particularly well-suited to the development of Chardonnay's aromas and flavors.
Lucien and Fanny acquired this plot in 2013 and continued the ECOCERT-certified organic farming practices already established by the previous owners. The vines, approximately fifty years old, have been plowed by horse since 2014 to minimize soil compaction.
The wine is aged for approximately 12 months in 500L barrels that have previously held one, two, or three vintages.
This Saint Romain is generally very mineral. From one vintage to the next, the dominant aromas will be more or less pronounced, with notes of flint, white flowers, or even a light toasty flavor. These wines always retain a lovely freshness and can be aged for a few years before being opened.
They will perfectly complement river fish or white meats in sauces. They are also the ideal companion for your aperitifs.
