Domaine Rougeot Saint Romain 'La Combe Bazin' 2023
Experience the essence of Burgundy with the 2023 Domaine Rougeot Saint-Romain 'La Combe Bazin'. This biodynamic Chardonnay hails from the esteemed Cote de Beaune, a region renowned for its elegant wines. 'La Combe Bazin' vineyard, the oldest at the domaine, is nestled at 350 meters altitude, fostering a unique microclimate that produces small yields and results in a wine of remarkable density and balance. The absence of added sulfur enhances the purity of its expression, making it a true reflection of its terroir.
Composition: 100% Chardonnay. The vines, planted in the 1920s, thrive in the region's rich soils.
Winemaking: Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo direct pneumatic pressing in whole bunches, followed by cold settling for two days. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, and malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels.
Aging: The wine matures for 18 months in oak barrels, with 15% being new, and is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
