Product description
"The first thing I do when receiving out-of-town visitors to our home in Burgundy is take them to Saint Romain. The views looking down on the Côte de Beaune are striking, as is the sight of the local terroir with its steep, winding vineyards and extremely rocky soils. The higher elevation and higher limestone content give this blanc a lively, bright initial punch, floral aromatics, and a round, opulent finish. The estate’s history runs deep in Saint Romain, which is the native village of the Taupenot side of the family, with these old vines being part of the family holdings for generations."

Taste: It begins with an alluring nose filled with floral aromatics of white blossoms, mingling with hints of green apple, ripe pear, and lemon zest. Subtle undertones of wet stone and crushed seashells reflect the wine's limestone-rich terroir, while a touch of brioche and vanilla indicate judicious use of oak. On the palate, this wine delivers a lively, bright initial punch, showcasing its elevated origins. The crisp acidity is beautifully balanced by a rich, opulent texture, revealing flavors of orchard fruits, citrus, and a hint of honey. A mineral-driven backbone provides depth and complexity, leading to a lengthy, refreshing finish with nuances of toasted almonds and white pepper.
