2019 Saint-Romain Sous le Chateau, Olivier Leflaive
£44.00
Sous le Château is one of the Climats of the Saint-Romain vineyard. It is located under the rocky outcrop which served as a Merovingian necropolis in the 4th century, then as a feudal castle until the 11th century when it was burned down and destroyed. These steeply sloping vines were abandoned after phyloxera and replanted in the 1970s.
“Very attractive nose of leaves and flowers, dripping after a summer storm. Medium-bodied with a cool and elegant front palate, then the very fresh acidity and some tannins come through at the finish.”

Product Description
Sous le Château is one of the Climats of the Saint-Romain vineyard. It is located under the rocky outcrop which served as a Merovingian necropolis in the 4th century, then as a feudal castle until the 11th century when it was burned down and destroyed. These steeply sloping vines were abandoned after phyloxera and replanted in the 1970s. Regarded as the terroir the most accomplished of the A.O.C. Saint Romain. Its exposure towards South-East and its limestone stony soil give a wine of personality mixing rich but subtle aromas.
