Saint-Romain Blanc, “La Périère”

From this renowned poor-soiled vineyard in the high valley of Saint-Romain, Jean-Marc produces a wine of impressive power for the appellation—Saint-Romain as rendered by a master of Chassagne-Montrachet. Aged one-quarter in new barrels, this offers succulent orchard fruits on a relatively easygoing frame, with enough acidity to harmonize its elements but without pitching the wine toward shrillness. Vinified in stainless steel which emphasizes the earthy minerality of this appellation; we import around 50 cases annually.
