Saint-Romain “La Combe Bazin” AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

Weinbeschreibung für Saint-Romain “La Combe Bazin” AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum von Rougeot Père & Fils

Terroir & character

Der Saint-Romain “La Combe Bazin” offenbart die verborgenen Qualitäten einer oft übersehenen Appellation im Herzen des Burgunds. Diese Lage, eingebettet in ein kühles Seitental westlich von Meursault, profitiert von kalkhaltigen Böden und einer erhöhten Position, die dem Wein eine bemerkenswerte Frische und mineralische Präzision verleiht. Das Weingut Rougeot Père & Fils, das mit handwerklicher Sorgfalt arbeitet, zeigt hier, warum Saint-Romain zunehmend die Aufmerksamkeit anspruchsvoller Burgunderkenner auf sich zieht.

The 2022 vintage presents itself as a classic Burgundian year with balanced ripeness and preserved acidity structure - a welcome balance after the increasingly warmer vintages of previous years. This wine should develop particularly harmoniously in magnum format.

Winemaking philosophy

The Rougeot family has a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar and meticulous manual labour in the vineyard. Their Chardonnays are typically fermented with natural yeasts and matured in predominantly used oak barrels, which emphasises terroir expression without masking it with exaggerated wood influence.

La Combe Bazin is a single vineyard known for its cool exposure and the resulting slow, even ripening - ideal conditions for Chardonnay with depth and finesse.

Stylistic categorisation

You can expect a Pinot Blanc with crystalline clarity that perfectly balances the tension between ripe fruit and chalky minerality. The moderate residual sweetness (classified as low) emphasises the dry, precise character of the wine.

Saint-Romain wines often position themselves stylistically between the tautness of Puligny-Montrachet and the richer texture of Meursault - with an excellent price-quality ratio that makes them insider tips among Burgundy connoisseurs.

Food pairing suggestions

The fine acid structure and minerality predestine this wine for seafood, especially oysters and lobster. It also harmonises well with creamy risottos, roasted wild mushrooms or a classic chicken à la crème. The magnum bottle makes it the ideal companion for festive occasions in a small circle.
