Saint-Romain
Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.
Vineyard
Pretty village overlooking la Côte de Beaune and turning its back on the vineyards of les Hautes Côtes. Planted on brown limestone soil where the rock is deep, the grapes 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.
