“This Saint-Romain elevates Chardonnay in this surprising, limited-production cuvée—a wonderful discovery!”

“A smooth, pleasant texture, with notes of lanolin, honey, chalk, and stone. There are also hints of grape skin. A medium-bodied wine with lovely roundness and a lively finish. One to watch closely. Ready to drink now.” (James Suckling 2025)

Vintage

Designation

Saint-Romain

Region

Burgundy

Grape varieties

100% Chardonnay

Regions

From the commune of Saint-Romain, a short distance from the villages of the Côte de Beaune; a well-known prehistoric site at the foot of cliffs, with well-exposed clay-limestone soils at an elevation of 400 meters

Viticulture

Reasoned

Grape Harvest

Manual, in open-top crates

Winemaking

Careful sorting, slow pressing of whole clusters in a pneumatic press; the late-run juice is separated from the free-run juice and transferred to barrels immediately after settling; alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in oak barrels (10–15% of which are new).

Livestock farming

Aged for 12 to 14 months in oak barrels (10 to 15% of which are new)

Eye

A clear, brilliant white-gold color

Nose

Seductive, with delicate aromas of honeysuckle blossoms and mirabelle plum jam, evolving upon aeration into notes of honey and gingerbread

Palate

Lively and fresh on the palate, it then develops a lovely roundness with generous fruit, wrapped in a hint of lemon zest, leading to a long, mineral finish with notes of crushed stone characteristic of the terroir

Serve

At 12-13°C

Rated estate (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The estate is now led by Frédéric Drouhin, supported by his sister Véronique for the wines and his brother Philippe for the vineyards. In July 2013, it opened a wine bar in the heart of Beaune. It has found its stride and is establishing itself as a sure bet. The estate draws on a biodynamic vineyard that is particularly well-stocked with fine white wines, both in the Côte-de-Beaune and in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon label), including the famous Clos des Mouches.
