Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson Saint-Romain La Perrière – Saint-Romain – White – 2023:

 

Discover Burgundy’s Best-Kept Secret: Saint-Romain

The Saint-Romain “La Perriére” White Wine from Domaine Henri & Gilles Buisson is a sophisticated and mineral-driven Chardonnay from the elevated slopes of the Côte de Beaune. Crafted by a biodynamic-certified estate, this single-vineyard bottling offers a vibrant, pure expression of Burgundy, representing phenomenal value compared to its more famous neighbors.

Tasting Profile: Crisp & Complex

• Color: Bright, pale gold with a subtle green tint, showcasing its youthful freshness.
• Nez: A beautifully complex nose that immediately presents delicate white flowers (linden), lively citrus fruits, and a distinct ‘wet stone’ minerality. Subtle barrel aging adds layers of toasted brioche and fresh almond.
• Palate: The attack is energetic and taut, defined by a chiseled, almost saline structure-a hallmark of high-altitude Chardonnay. The mid-palate builds smoothly, leading to a persistent, elegant finish that speaks volumes of its limestone terroir.

Pairing Recommendations & Service

Serve this premium White Burgundy chilled (54-57°F) to unlock its full aromatic potential. It’s an exceptional pairing wine, ready to drink now, but built to age. For optimal complexity, cellar for 5-7 years to allow honeyed and flinty notes to emerge. This is a must-have for any serious collector.
