Buisson - Saint Romain Rouge Sous Roche 2022
Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson Saint Romain Rouge "Sous Roche" 2022
A wine with a high location and deep roots in Burgundy
Terroir and History
The name Sous Roche refers to the vineyards' unique location in Saint-Romain. Here, 60-year-old Pinot Noir vines grow in limestone-rich marl soil on hillsides 300 meters above sea level. This elevated location ensures optimal growing conditions, where warm currents and cool air from the valley create a perfect balance between ripening and freshness.
Colour, Smell and Taste
- Color : Clear and vibrant red that reflects the wine's elegance and youth.
- Aroma : An aromatic bouquet of fresh red fruits such as raspberries and cherries. With age, notes of ripe fruit and spices develop, adding complexity.
- Taste : The wine has a lively freshness and an elegant depth due to the old vines. It balances lightness with a long, persistent finish, where the fruit is clearly at the center.
Vinification and Aging Potential
The grapes from the old vines are carefully selected and vinified with a focus on highlighting the unique character of the terroir. The wine is created to be enjoyed young , where its fresh fruit aromas shine. However, with 4-5 years of aging it develops a spicier profile with deeper, mature notes.
Serving and Food Pairing
Saint Romain Sous Roche should be served at 14-16°C to highlight its freshness and elegance. It is a versatile companion to many dishes, including:
- Poultry : Like chicken in red wine sauce or duck breast.
- Lighter dishes : Pasta with mushrooms or vegetarian ratatouilles.
- Cheeses : Soft and mild cheeses such as brie or camembert.
