CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINE
With a pale yellow hue dressed in green, the Saint-Romain releases a fairly strong bouquet, characterized by white flowers, toasted bread, ripe yellow fruits (mirabelle, vine peach) and a hint of honey when they have evolved sufficiently. They offer a liveliness on the palate that time softens, revealing a pleasant roundness.

STORAGE AND SERVING ADVICE
Its development begins after 2 years and continues a decade later.
For this very rich and fragrant wine, cold would be an enemy.
Serving at the temperature of a good cellar (12 to 14°) is ideal.
A sudden cold could promote benign crystallization.
After 5 years, it is normal for a deposit to appear at the bottom of the bottle

GASTRONOMY
Its minerality and tension make it an ideal partner for appetizers and meal starters (jambon persillé, oysters, seafood...). Fresh cheeses (fresh goat cheese, sheep cheese...) are enhanced by the richness of this white wine.
