Saint-Romain 2022
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Saint-Romain is located in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune, in a valley West of Volnay beneath a series of imposing rock faces. This location results in a naturally cooler terroir and consequently a longer ripening cycle. Chardonnay here is typically racy and vibrant, producing white wines which are refreshing and easy to drink soon after the vintage.

Wine Spectator
2022 vintage
Harvest Note
2022 was a hot and dry growing season which was saved by significant rain in June. This allowed the vines to withstand summer heat and drought and led to ideal sanitary conditions and a modest yet concentrated vintage.
Tasting Note
Tangy with bright citrus notes and vibrant acidity initially, this medium-bodied white wine recalls echos of the famous nearby appellation of Meursault yet in a naturally sleek framework. The finish is long and dry, any oak influence is quite subtle, and the focus throughout remains on lemon pith, white flowers and damp stony earth.
