Descrizione

The Saint Romain "Sous Le Chateau" Magnum produced by Alain Gras is a refined example of wine from Burgundy, particularly appreciated for its elegance and complex flavor-aroma structure. This wine originates from vines cultivated in a single vineyard, which accentuates its peculiarity and uniqueness. It presents with a straw yellow color, tending towards golden with aging.

On the nose, the Saint Romain "Sous Le Chateau" offers an intriguing bouquet with notes of white-fleshed fruits like peach and pear, enriched by hints of white flowers and a slight toastiness given by the wood aging. On the palate, the freshness is balanced by an enveloping creaminess and a well-marked savoriness, leading to a long and persistent finish.

Considered excellent as an aperitif, this wine pairs wonderfully with elaborate fish dishes, shellfish, and soft cheeses. The Magnum bottle is perfectly suited for special occasions, ensuring better wine evolution over time due to the larger volume. Alain Gras is renowned for his ability to convey the essence of the terroir through traditional and nature-respecting winemaking methods, thus reflecting the true spirit of the Saint Romain region.

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.
