Buisson - St Romain Sous Roche 2020
Buisson – Saint-Romain Sous Roche 2020
A wine that captures the essence of Saint-Romain
Buisson Saint-Romain Sous Roche 2020 is an elegant and characterful Pinot Noir from Burgundy's high terroir. The vines, which are over 60 years old, grow in limestone soil and marl on the slopes outside Saint-Romain, where they benefit from the warm currents of the valley and the cool climate of the altitude. The result is a wine with a unique balance between freshness and depth.
Tasting notes
Nose:
A delightful scent of fresh red berries such as cherries and raspberries, supported by subtle spice notes and a light floral touch. Notes of wet lime and minerality give a sense of the wine's terroir.
Taste:
The wine offers a juicy, lively structure with a core of ripe red fruits. The concentration of the old vines contributes depth, while the wine's high location adds freshness and finesse. An elegant acidity and silky tannins make the taste both intense and harmonious.
Aftertaste:
Nice and persistent with a mineral finish, where notes of spices and ripe fruit gradually emerge.
Storage potential
Saint-Romain Sous Roche 2020 is a wine that can be enjoyed young for its freshness and generosity. After four to five years, it develops more spicy notes and ripe fruit, giving an even deeper and more complex experience.
Recommendations for serving
Serve the wine at 14-16°C to highlight its delicate nuances. It is an obvious companion to dishes such as grilled poultry, veal, mushroom-based dishes or mild cheeses.
The influence of the terroir
The name "Sous Roche" refers to the vineyard's limestone-rich soil, which contributes structure and minerality to the wine. The high location on the hillside at an altitude of 300 meters creates a cool microclimate that ensures the grapes' freshness and elegant acidity. At the same time, the warm currents in the valley provide a soft maturation that promotes the fullness and complexity of the wine.
