Descrizione

Pouring the Saint Romain "Sous Le Château" by Alain Gras into the glass, one immediately notices the appreciable balance and finesse that this wine manages to express. Produced in the renowned Burgundy region, famous for its extraordinary terroirs, this wine stands out for its distinctive character, being cultivated in the unique location "Sous Le Château," from which it derives its name.

The color is a bright straw yellow. On the nose, an intriguing aromatic complexity emerges, with notes of white-fleshed fruit, fresh flowers, and a subtle mineral tone reminiscent of flint. On the palate, the wine reveals an elegant structure and well-balanced acidity that harmoniously blends with the fruit and mineral touches perceived on the nose.

Ideal for accompanying delicate fish dishes or light white meats, this wine also proves versatile with medium-aged cheeses. An excellent choice for lovers of Burgundy white wines seeking something unique and expressive.

Winery history

Alain Gras settled in Saint‑Romain in 1979 and over the years built a small estate with parcels in Saint‑Romain, Meursault and Auxey‑Duresses. In recent years his son Arthur joined the family business and has gradually taken over management of the estate, maintaining the terroir‑focused approach passed down by Alain.

Production philosophy

Emphasis on the value of Saint‑Romain's calcareous terroir, traditional winemaking aimed at freshness, minerality and elegance; vineyard practices focused on targeted pest control and soil management, and hand-harvesting to preserve the quality and identity of the parcels.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate is situated in the commune of Saint‑Romain, on limestone hills between Meursault and Pommard. It also manages scattered vineyards in the communes of Meursault and Auxey‑Duresses, on clay‑limestone soils that impart mineral tension to the wines.

Awards and recognitions

Recognized and cited in wine guides and with a well-established presence on the wine lists of numerous three-Michelin-star restaurants; individual cuvées have been positively reviewed by specialist guides.
