Alain Gras has long been acknowledged as the pre-eminent vigneron in Saint-Romain – a village of wonderfully sited vineyards and greater proportion of limestone than any other commune in Burgundy. His stunningly situated domaine comprises 12 hectares of Saint Romain. The soil is clay-limestone with vines an average of 40 years old. Green harvesting is undertaken and all grapes are hand picked.
Aromas of hazelnuts, toasted bread and vanilla. Expressive on the palate with fullness, this is a mineral wine with an delicate wood notes and an excellent length.
20% to 30% of the grapes are destemmed before pressing. A pneumatic press is then used as is temperature control. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. The wine is then aged in barrels (including 20% new barrels) and in vats. The wine is then bottling after 12 months of ageing.
