Saint-Romain
The season begins with a mild and dry winter, leading to an early start to the growing cycle. A significant episode of frost occurred on the Chardonnay on April 5 then on the Pinot Noir on April 14, causing a harvest loss (30% to 50%). A cooling at the beginning of June leads to capricious flowering. This causes runoff and further reduces yields while concentrating the aromas. The hot summer induces water stress in certain places which delays the maturity of the grapes. Because the berries are small and few number, the sugar level in the grapes is naturally high but the lack of water helped maintain good acidity.
Vineyard
Pretty village overlooking la Côte de Beaune and turning its back on the vineyards of les Hautes Côtes. Planted on brown and limestone soil where the rock is deep, the vines have to be brought to a certain maturity obtained at the end of the season. Our vintage is produced from the terroirs of En Poillange, La Perrière, Combe Bazin, en Chevrot and Sous le Château.
