"Very aromatic, with notes of black cherry, berries and red rose. The palate is taut, deep, with present, melted tannins. We sincerely appreciate this high-potential cuvée." (Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide 2019)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 17/20 (Vin de référence)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Very aromatic, with notes of black cherry, berries and red rose. Taut, deep on the palate, with present, mellow tannins. We sincerely appreciate this high-potential cuvée.

About the domain :

Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family presence in the village dates back to the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic Saint-Romain estate. Ecocert-certified since 2012, they develop the most natural viticulture and oenology. The red wines, which still contain some whole bunches, offer a precise vision of their terroir that argues for the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain we haven't often seen at this level. The precise whites are not to be outdone.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Its fleshy, dense body shows its ambitions. It has great volume on the palate, while preserving the straightforwardness that characterizes the estate's wines.

About the domain :

Frédéric, winemaker, and Franck, salesman, manage one of the largest estates in the southern Côte de Beaune. Certified organic since 2009, they will be switching to biodynamic viticulture in 2018. For ten years now, they have been following the lunar calendar for their bottling. Serious work in the vineyard and cellar enables them to produce deep, racy wines that age well. This is an estate that perfectly enhances the Saint-Romain appellation in both red and white, with fine, precise and elegant wines. A range of wines that richly deserves its first star.
