Maison De Montille Saint Romain 2015, 75cl

Hidden in the hills of the Côte de Beaune, Saint-Romain is encircled by cliffs. The vines, which face due south or north-northeast, are at distinctly high elevations. Within this assembly of marl and limestone, the bands of clay are well-suited to chardonnay (57 hectares), but pinot noir is no exception with around 40 hectares.

This Saint-Romain comes from 20% of the lieu dit "Sous Roches" and 80% from "Jarrons" at the bottom of the village. The vines, which are about 30 years old, are planted on very rocky soil and offer wines with beautiful balance. They age 12 to 14 months before bottling and never see new barrels.

"Rather light, even paint-like aroma. Broad, ripe, pear fruit on the front palate. Flattering. Open. Drink 2018 - 2021.
15.5 Points."
(Jancis Robinson, JR Purple Pages, November 2016)
