In the heart of Burgundy, the village of Saint-Romain is known for its thousand-year-old wine-making history and its vineyards located at high altitudes. This is where the Saint-Romain Blanc ‘Combe Bazin’ of the Clos du Moulin aux Moines is produced, a wine that authentically expresses the character of its terroir. We are in the Côte de Beaune, where rocky outcrops offer a breathtaking panorama and ideal conditions for viticulture. The vineyards are located at an altitude of about 350 metres, on soils rich in limestone and clay, elements that give the wines a marked minerality and freshness. The ‘Combe Bazin’ parcel is particularly renowned for its old Chardonnay vines, planted in 1990, which benefit from a south/south-west exposure, guaranteeing optimal ripening of the grapes. Here, the Clos du Moulin aux Moines adopts organic farming practices, respecting the environment and promoting biodiversity. The vinification of ‘Combe Bazin’ involves fermentation in large oak barrels, using only indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes. This minimalist approach allows the integrity and authentic expression of the fruit to be preserved. The wine is then aged for 12 months without bâtonnage or racking, in order to maintain its purity and freshness. In the glass, Combe Bazin has a brilliant straw yellow colour. On the nose, fine and elegant aromas of lime, lemon, kalamansi, crisp white peaches and yellow apples. On the palate it is ripe and silky, with citrus notes of lime and lemon, pineapple, herbs and a mineral sensation. The finish is savoury and salty, with a lively acidity that gives the wine a pleasant freshness.
