Saint-Romain is a small village in the Côte de Beaune, located in the extension of the Auxey-Duresses vineyard.

The racy, intense and stony lighter weight flavors possess fine delineation on the curiously slightly sweet finish that is suffused with bitter lemon wisps. This isn't unpleasant but it's a bit atypical.
