Saint-Romain

Sous le Château

Sous le Château is one of the Climats of the Saint-Romain vineyard. It is located under the rocky outcrop which served as a Merovingian necropolis in the 4th century, then as a feudal castle until the 11th century when it was burned down and destroyed. These steeply sloping vines were abandoned after phyloxera and replanted in the 1970s.
