Product Notes

Joseph Drouhin Saint-Romain is a white wine from the Burgundy region of France. It’s made with 100% chardonnay grapes and has a beautiful, golden color. On the nose, it’s full of aromas of ripe fruit, such as citrus and apple, as well as floral notes of acacia and honey. The taste is complex yet elegant with a balance of acidity and minerality that provides a long and satisfying finish. This wine is best enjoyed with seafood, chicken, or light pasta dishes, and it pairs well with creamy sauces and cheeses. Joseph Drouhin Saint-Romain is a fine example of the quality wines produced in Burgundy.

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.

About the Winery

Joseph Drouhin

If you are looking to taste the best of wines from the Burgundy region, you have to try wines from the French wine label, Joseph Drouhin. The vines are grown on 90 appellations located across some of the richest terroirs in Burgundy here. Started 140 years ago, this wine label is run by the fourth generation of the Drouhin family with the same amount of dedication and passion as before.

The Joseph Drouhin Domaine is considered as one of the largest wine estates in Burgundy. Currently, the estate comprises of 80 hectares of vineyards located in all the wine-rich areas of Burgundy. Out of these 80, 38 are found in Chablis, 38.5 hectares are found in Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune and 3.5 hectares are found in Cote Chalonnaise. A grand, 18th-century watermill, the property of Joseph Drouhin, is regarded as the headquarters of the premium Drouhin Domaine in Chablis.

The two famous Burgundy grape varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are grown in these vineyards. The estates are neatly classified into Premier and Grand Cru. Apart from growing their own grapes, Joseph Drouhin also buys grapes from other wine-growers, who are their long-standing partners. In 2008, this label created the historic “Chablis Wines,” which speak volumes about the wine’s richness and elegance of Burgundy wines.

At this estate, organic and biodynamic winemaking practices are followed, to ensure that the wine reflects the true character of the terroirs where they are grown. No synthetic products are used in the vineyards here. Instead, natural predators and herb infusions are used to process the grapes naturally. At the vineyards of this estate, vines are planted densely. Close to 5000 vines are planted per acre, so that the plants get the maximum benefits of each type of soil where they are grown.
