Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson Saint-Romain Sous la Velle – Saint-Romain – White – 2023:

 

The Elevated Purity of Saint-Romain Chardonnay

The Saint-Romain “Sous La Velle” from Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson is a powerful and pure expression of high-altitude Chardonnay. Sourced from a historic, 60-year-old vineyard plot located “under the village,” this White Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts seeking authentic, age-worthy terroir wine.

Tasting Notes: A Mineral Core

• Color: Pale gold with subtle green hues.
• Nose: Complex and precise, offering intense aromas of candied lemon, white flowers (linden, honeysuckle), and a pronounced chalky, saline minerality.
• Palate: The entry is direct and energetic. The wine builds in density, structured by a vibrant, iodized tension. It achieves a rare balance between textural richness and crystalline purity.
• Finish: Long, distinctly chalky, reflecting the marl and limestone soils of the single vineyard plot.

Pairing & Serving

This wine demands fine cuisine to showcase its full potential. Serve chilled between 54°F and 57°F (12°C-14°C). While delicious upon release, its structure allows for excellent aging, developing honeyed and spicy notes over 4 to 8 years.
