Overview

Set beneath dramatic cliffs at the head of a valley west of Meursault, Saint-Romain’s vineyards sit at relatively high elevations. Cool airflow and rocky limestone-marl soils favor taut whites with citrus and mineral character and fragrant, light-footed reds.

Geography & Climate

The vineyards occupy elevated slopes and a rocky amphitheater around Saint-Romain, well above the main Côte.

Soils

Jurassic limestone, marl, and rocky scree create shallow, well-drained calcareous soils.

Wine Styles

White Chardonnay is prominent and typically crisp and mineral; red Pinot Noir is fragrant, fresh, and lightly structured.
