Grape variety
Chardonnay
The village of Saint Romain is located in the central part of the Côte de Beaune at the bottom of a valley surrounded by spectacular cliffs at the level of Meursault. The higher altitude generally results in a later harvest.
Tasting
Fine and elegant, the nose is fruity with notes of elderberry and citrus peel against a mineral backdrop. Full-bodied with discrete oak, this supple, fleshy wine offers pleasing balance and a very delectable finish.
Food/wine pairing
Saint Romain goes well with fish, shellfish and white meats, poultry in sauce and full-flavoured cheeses.
