Saint-Romain
Situation
Côte de Beaune
Level
AOC Village
Grape variety
Chardonnay
Located at the heart of the Côte de Beaune, this village stands at the foot of a combe, though at a higher elevation surrounded by spectacular cliffs. The vines grow at altitudes of 280 to 400 metres, which results in a slightly later start to the harvest.
Tasting
Fine nose with scents of white flowers and citrus fruit along with a few mineral nuances. Full bodied and soft on the palate, supported by lovely mineral tautness, this wine offers nice balance and a long, delectable finish.
Food/wine pairing
Taste this wine with finely prepared fish and seafood, or with roasted or stewed poultry and white meats.
Serving and keeping
Serve between 12 and 14°C (53-57°F).
To enjoy young on the fruit or to keep 3 to 5 years.
