Developing tertiary aromas with firm but integrated tannins

2021 Saint-Romain is a cool vintage with good acidity and structure, allowing the wine to age gracefully for at least 15-20 years. The combination of delicate fruit and firm but fine tannins supports extended cellaring through the 2030s.

Food pairing

Perfect with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, coq au vin, grilled salmon, and medium-aged cheeses.
