Not too many wines from saint romain. A little too oaky for my liking, but still great mineral notes and Asian pear notes

Really good. A powerful wine with lots of phenolic extract. Quite savory and herbal - not in a peppery/green way, but in a fennel/celery/coriander seed. Plenty of minerals and acid. Haut Côte!

This is what Chardonnay is supposed to taste like (if you don’t mind a nice balanced hit of oak)

The nose here is a great mix of pineapple & other tropical fruit. There is a presence of oak, but the weight is finessed. Textural & generous. A wine of great balance. Social distance gathering wine #2.

Paired with pumpkin tortellini. Minerally, not buttery at all. Smart pairing.

Nose doesn't show much barrel or reduction. Mostly fruit. Crisp and bright. A bit of green apple and black pepper.
