Saint-Romain AOC 2021 Joseph Drouhin

Saint-Romain by Joseph Drouhin is a white wine from the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes from the Saint-Romain vineyards. This terroir, located at 400 meters above sea level, enjoys excellent exposure on clay-limestone soils.

The winemaking involves the use of selected grapes from the Drouhin family estates and partner suppliers. The grapes are hand-picked in perforated crates and subjected to slow pressing in a pneumatic press. After clarification, the must ferments in oak barrels, some of which are new. The aging lasts 12 to 14 months.

It has a white gold hue with green reflections. On the nose it offers refined aromas of white flowers and ripe fruits such as plum, evolving towards notes of honey and gingerbread. In the mouth it has a lively and fresh attack, followed by a pleasant roundness. The mineral note, typical of the terroir, gives a strong character to this wine, which stands out for its finesse and depth.

It is ideal with shellfish, grilled fish, white meat dishes and soft cheeses.
