Description
Leroux’s Saint-Romain hails from a 0.5-hectare parcel in the lieu-dit of Sous le Chateau. Organically farmed, there are in fact two parcels with 20 and 60 years old vines. The stony, rugged soils are typical of Saint-Romain’s terroir, although, as it is sited under a cliff, this vineyard is protected from the north wind and the plethora of stones on the surface radiate heat. It is therefore a warm terroir in the context of the village. Again, this was vinified in 12 hectolitre cask for 12 months. It is tight and finely structured, with a racy chalky streak running though the wine’s citrusy fruit. Great clarity, precision and deliciousness on offer here.A hint of matchstick character can be found on the very fresh aromas of green apple and citrus zest. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the reasonably well-delineated flavors that exhibit a subtle minerality on the nicely dry, crisp and moderately persistent finish. This is pretty much textbook St. Romain. – Allen Meadows, Burghound*87-89/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound *87-90/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni
