Saint-Romain

The Saint-Romain Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), established in 1947, covers exclusively the territory of the commune of Saint-Romain, within the prestigious Côte de Beaune in the Côte d'Or. This appellation allows wines to indicate their specific climat of origin, such as Pouillange, La Perrière, and Sous le Château, among others. Notably, red wines from this appellation may also bear the Côte de Beaune designation.

Situated on gentle slopes that enjoy optimal sunlight, the Saint-Romain vineyard thrives on a marl and limestone terroir enriched with clay veins, ideal for growing Chardonnay. The vines enjoy varied exposures, ranging from south/southeast to north/northeast, at altitudes ranging from 280 to 400 meters.

Saint-Romain red wines, characterized by a ruby color and notes of black cherry, develop over several years into aromas of ripe fruit, spices, and smoky notes, supported by fine, elegant tannins. They stand out for their ability to be enjoyed in their youth, while offering aging potential of about a decade. The white wines have a pale gold color with green highlights, revealing a pronounced minerality on the palate that softens over time to reveal a velvety texture, much like the wines from Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson.
