"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)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
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.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (guide 2022) 89/100 (Very good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Notes of pear, hazelnut, custard and smoke introduce the Saint-Romain Le Jarron 2020, a medium-bodied, satiny wine with a fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and a saline finish. It's particularly charming and precise this year.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (guide 2023) 15.5/20 (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:
Behind a fine, pleasant reduction lies a fine, intense wine with very pure, chiselled but ripe fruit, with fine bitters and a pleasant grapefruit note. A fine introduction to the estate. A fine contemporary interpretation of white Burgundy.
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.
