Saint-Romain is a sub-region in Côte de Beaune, France.

Chardonnay leads the plantings, with Pinot Noir alongside it.

The climate is continental, running altitude-moderated.

The vineyards themselves read as elevated and valley floor.

Red wine and white wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows lively and perfumed and crisp and mineral-driven.

Pour them alongside seafood, poultry, creamy sauces and cheeses.

Serve at 10 to 12°C.

Keeps for 5 to 10 years.
