Descrizione

The Saint Romain "Les Cinq Climats" by Alain Gras is a hidden gem of Burgundy. This white wine is produced in one of the world's most prestigious wine regions, known for its unique climate and limestone soil that imparts exceptional quality to the wine. The "Les Cinq Climats" is a pure expression of Chardonnay, which in the Saint Romain area reaches one of its highest expressions.

The vines are cultivated using environmentally friendly methods, reflecting Alain Gras's philosophy of transferring the essence of the terroir into the glass. On the nose, this wine unfolds a sophisticated bouquet of white-fleshed fruit aromas, a touch of vanilla, and mineral notes. On the palate, it presents as elegant and well-balanced, with a lively freshness that leads to a long and persistent finish.

Ideal as an accompaniment to refined fish dishes or delicate white meats, the Saint Romain "Les Cinq Climats" is a wine that promises to evolve magnificently as it rests in the cellar, becoming even more harmonious and complex with the passage of time.

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.
