Tasting Notes

A very typical wine, representative of its terroir. A bright golden hue, with a greenish touch. Very fine aromas of white flowers (honeysuckle) and ripe fruit (yellow plums), evolving towards honey and gingerbread. On the palate, straightforward and lively at first, then richness and roundness. This wine dispalys a mineral "pebbly" ("caillou") quality is the hallmark of Saint-Romain.
