Saint Romain

Saint Romain, while not a person but rather a place of significance within Burgundy's wine region, holds a special place in the hearts and minds of those who appreciate the terroir of Côte de Beaune. The commune of Saint-Romain is located in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune area, west of Auxey-Duresses. Unlike other villages on the main Côte d'Or escarpment, Saint-Romain's vineyards are situated in a side valley, contributing to its unique viticultural character. The AOC for Saint-Romain allows both red and white wines, predominantly made from Pinot noir and Chardonnay respectively. Approximately half of the production is dedicated to white wine. Notably, there are no Grand Cru or Premier Cru vineyards within this appellation, making it a distinct area in the broader context of Burgundy's renowned wine regions.
