Saint Romain Sous Roches red 2022 Clos du Moulin aux Moines | Burgundy

Saint-Romain Sous Roches rouge Clos du Moulin aux Moines is a wine made from terroirs situated at altitude. The village of Saint-Romain, one of the oldest in the region, enjoys a spectacular setting, encircled by steep cliffs and dominated by rocky spurs. This terroir, marked by a particular topology and a cool climate, offers ideal conditions for growing vines. The vines on this wine estate are cultivated with a profound respect for the environment, using organic and biodynamic methods, guaranteeing an authentic wine that respects nature.

Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin: The picturesque village of Saint-Romain is home to vines that flourish at a high altitude, giving the wines a unique freshness. The terroir of this region, characterized by a combe set back from the hillside and crossed by cold air currents, favors a staggered ripening of the grapes, allowing winemaking that preserves natural acidity while preserving the complexity of the aromas. The poor, chalky soils allow the roots to penetrate deeply and capture all the minerality of the terroir, elements that are present in every sip of Saint-Romain Sous Roches rouge.

The nose is immediately captivating, with intense aromas of fresh red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, mingling with delicate floral touches of violet and peony. More subtle nuances, such as fine spices and a hint of undergrowth, add complexity that gradually reveals itself.

On the palate, this wine is elegant, fresh and well-balanced. The attack is soft, with fruity flavors and a fine acidity that structures the wine. The tannins are of great finesse, making the wine supple and harmonious. The finish is long and mineral, leaving a lingering impression of freshness. This cuvée offers great purity, with a lovely tension that will enable it to improve with age, while remaining perfectly accessible in its youth.
