Robert Parker
“Subtlety and intensity”
“Behind a delicate and pleasant reduction lies a refined and intense wine with fruit of great purity—precise yet ripe—and lovely bitter notes from which a pleasant hint of grapefruit emerges. A wonderful introduction to the estate. This is a beautiful contemporary interpretation of a Burgundy white.” (Le Guide RVF 2023)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family has lived in the village since the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic Saint-Romain estate. Certified by Ecocert since 2012, they practice viticulture and winemaking in the most natural way possible. The red wines, which always contain a small amount of whole clusters, offer a precise expression of their terroir, advocating for the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain that we have rarely seen at this level. The precise whites are no exception.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2022 guide) 89/100 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Notes of pear, hazelnut, pastry cream, and smoke open the 2020 Saint-Romain Le Jarron, a medium-bodied, silky wine with a rich core of fruit, lively acidity, and a mineral finish. It is particularly charming and well-defined this year.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Behind a delicate and pleasant aroma lies a refined and intense wine with fruit of great purity—precise yet ripe—and lovely bitter notes from which a pleasant hint of grapefruit emerges. A wonderful introduction to the estate. This is a beautiful contemporary interpretation of a white Burgundy.
About the estate:
Frédéric, the winemaker, and Franck, the sales manager, run one of the largest estates in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune. Having practiced organic farming—certified since 2009—they made the transition to biodynamic farming in 2018. For the past ten years, they have been following the lunar calendar for bottling. Their meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar allows them to produce deep, distinguished wines that age well. This is an estate that beautifully showcases the Saint-Romain appellation in both red and white wines; the wines are refined, precise, and elegant. A range of wines that fully deserves its first star.
