Saint-Romain AOC 2020 Olivier Leflaive

Olivier Leflaive's Saint-Romain comes from the beautiful village that rises above the Côte de Beaune, with clay-limestone soils deeply rooted in the region's winemaking tradition. This special cuvée is the result of the union of selected lands such as En Poillange, La Perrière, Combe Bazin, en Chevrot and Sous le Château, where the manual harvest takes place when optimal maturity is reached.

Winemaking begins with an immediate and delicate pressing of the grapes as soon as they arrive in the cellar, using pneumatic presses to best preserve the characteristics of the raw material. The entire maturation process extends for 12 months, with the use of partially new barrels in order to give the wine complexity and structure while maintaining the elegance and freshness typical of Chardonnay.

This Saint-Romain presents itself with a pale straw yellow colour, offering the nose an aromatic palette that ranges from delicate notes of white flowers to yellow fruits, with a clear predominance of mineral sensations. On the palate, it stands out for its liveliness which turns towards a refined and persistent balance.

Perfect in combination with delicate but flavourful dishes, such as leeks in béchamel sauce or goat's cheeses.
