Facing south/southeast, this plot, located below the ruins of an old castle at 370 meters on the hillside, basks generously in the sun's rays. The vines thrive as their roots develop in the very shallow, hard limestone soil, drawing sustenance from between the fissures. This Saint-Romain "Sous Le Château" is therefore the result of a subtle harmony between the sun-drenched climate and the rustic nature of its soil: a powerful, structured wine, rich and full-bodied. The warm palate, with aromas of apricot, peach, and spicy, mineral notes, will develop delightful aromas of white truffle if cellared for 8 to 10 years.

"Mid lemon yellow, showing a very reductive nose with a touch of liquorice. The reduction is less evident on the palate. A lovely intensity throughout, a light creaminess, obviously this will be cleaned up later on but I suspect this is going to be brilliant. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Oct 2024."

"The 2023 Saint-Romain Sous Le Château has a slightly richer bouquet with more yellow fruit and brioche notes than other cuvées. Hints of custard creams and almond shavings appear with aeration. The palate is well balanced, tensile and fresh with a fine bead of acidity delivering ample salinity on the finish that lingers on the aftertaste. This is superb and seductive-and only a Village Cru!"
