Saint-Romain
The Saint-Romain appellation in Côte de Beaune

The Saint-Romain Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), created in 1947, is concentrated exclusively in the commune of Saint-Romain, in the prestigious Côte de Beaune region of the Côte d'Or. This appellation allows wines to mention their specific climate of origin, such as Pouillange, La Perrière, Sous le Château, among others. Notably, red wines from this appellation can also claim the Côte de Beaune appellation.

Terroir and exposure of the Saint-Romain vineyard

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

Characteristics and ageing potential of Saint-Romain wines

Saint-Romain red wines, characterized by a ruby color and black cherry notes, evolve after a few years into aromas of ripe fruit, spices and smoke, supported by fine, elegant tannins. They are distinguished by their ability to be enjoyed young, while offering a potential ageing potential of around a decade. The white wines are pale gold in color with green highlights, revealing a pronounced minerality on the palate that softens with age to reveal a mellow texture, as in the cuvées of Domaine Henri et Gilles Buisson.

"A nicely melted minerality".

A charming nose with aromas of dried fruit, lemon and wet stones. The barrel ageing is discreet, but does not prevent the sublime minerality from expressing itself.

"A confidential cuvée from the Château's pretty enclosed vineyards!

The Château de Saint Romain park, on which vines were planted over 30 years ago, now gives its name to this prestigious cuvée. With its minerality, its finesse wrapped in a nicely balanced fatness, it will sublimate your fish dishes.

"Saint-Romain of predilection

"The Saint-Romain Sous La Velle 2022 is a little more reserved on the nose, a little chalky, with light aromas of Golden Delicious apple and orange pulp. The definition is fine and the oak is well integrated. The palate is well balanced, with a hint of orange zest on the attack. The wine's fine acidity gives it real tension and impressive depth on the vibrant finish. Sous La Velle is often one of Saint-Romain's favorite vineyards, and this wine proves exactly why."

"Transcends the appellation

"The Saint-Romain Sous Roche 2022 presents an airy bouquet of raspberry and cranberry with hints of undergrowth that reveal themselves with aeration. The palate has a certain chewy attack, the tannins here being a little softer than those of Beaune reds, with a hint of white pepper on the finish. Give it a year in bottle. (Vinous 2023)

"The most intense of the estate's Saint-Romains".

"The Saint-Romain Sous Le Château 2022 has a very clean, precise, mineral bouquet, with lovely fleeting aromas of yellow plum and clementine. The palate is taut and firm, the opposite of what you'd expect from a warm season, with just a touch of reduction on the lemon verbena-tinged finish. A fine wine" (Vinous 2023)

"Immediate pleasure

"Notions of rich cherries, berries, loamy soil and bitter chocolate foreshadow the Saint-Romain Combe Bazin 2020, a medium- to full-bodied, lively and refined wine framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. This cuvée from younger vines is usually the most immediate red in the range, but in the 2020 vintage, it seems to have acquired another dimension of seriousness." (Wine Advocate 2022) A charming, crisp Pinot that offers beautiful dimension and immediate pleasure.

"Finesse and intensity

"Behind a fine, pleasant reduction, we discover a fine, intense wine with very pure, chiselled but ripe fruit, with beautiful bitters and a pleasant grapefruit note. A fine introduction to the domaine. A fine contemporary interpretation of white Burgundy". (Le Guide RVF 2023)

"What a great discovery!"

A still confidential estate, Nicolas Fèvre's cuvées are a joy to discover. The result of the most natural winemaking possible, this Saint-Romain has a deep, intense red color. The nose is airy, with notes of red fruits (raspberry-cherry) with a mellow woodiness. The tannins are fine and silky structure and good length.

"Awarded a star last year, this cuvée, made from a blend of plots representing 3.50 ha, does even better in its 2019 version, earning a Favorite. The elegant nose balances the woodiness of the aging process (40% new barrels) with citrus scents. The palate is full, rich and generous, with a long, acidic finish that brings a healthy freshness. A remarkable harmony ". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

New vintage, 2009 rated: Guide Hachette 2**(Remarkable wine) + Coup de Coeur, Gault Millau 15/20
Saint-Romain 'Sous le Château' rouge 2010 opens with aromas of ripe red fruit and fine, silky tannins. Well-balanced, with notes of peony and good tension. Well within its appellation, this red will be perfect in three years' time with grilled red meat.
