🏰The 2023 vintage in Burgundy is still very recent, with limited detailed reports available for specific wines. However, Saint-Romain, particularly the 'Sous la Velle' climat, is known for producing both red and white wines. Henri et Gilles Buisson's Saint-Romain Sous La Velle is typically a white Burgundy, a 【Chardonnay offering notes of green apple, citrus peel, white flower, and a saline finish, often described as crisper and leaner than Puligny, with a linear, mineral texture due to Saint-Romain's cooler climate and higher elevation】. It's a precise and well-fashioned Saint-Romain, with some critics noting expressive toasted notes backed by white-fleshed fruits, ripe lemon, and menthol.
🍴 This white Burgundy pairs beautifully with cold seafood like oysters, scallop crudo, and sushi, as its acid and saline finish work exceptionally well with raw shellfish. It also complements poached chicken, lemon-forward pasta, goat cheese salads, and ceviche. For a more general pairing, chicken and turkey are good options.
🥂 This wine is an excellent choice for a dinner pairing, especially with seafood or salad-driven meals, or as a thoughtful gift for a Burgundy lover on a real-world budget. It's a fresh, elegant, and real-world wine, best enjoyed young, fresh, and cold. Serve chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F).
