Saint-Romain is a Burgundy insider’s secret, a village shaped like a sunny amphitheater that is hidden behind a series of higher hills in the Côte de Beaune. Fourth-generation grower Romain Barolet-Pernot in a few short years has turned his family domaine into an up-and-coming star. Bringing back their best grapes (previously sold to Olivier Leflaive) and taking a more organic approach in the fields, Romain has transformed these small-batch wines to reflect his home village’s stony energy and high-altitude freshness like a polished mirror
A ruby color of good intensity, the nose is elegant with plenty of fruits (wild strawberry, red plum) as well as floral (cherry blossom) and mineral (crushed stones). The mouth is ample, gourmet. Medium-bodied, lively and fresh.
