Let's talk little, let's talk wine

Description of Domaine de la Roche Aiguë

Located in Burgundy, Domaine de la Roche Aiguë is famous for its loyalty to traditional winemaking methods and its commitment to environmentally friendly viticulture. The estate excels in producing wines that clearly express the unique characteristics of their terroir, through careful attention paid to each stage of the winemaking process.

Description of the Cuvée Saint-Romain Rouge

The Cuvée Saint-Romain Rouge from Domaine de la Roche Aiguë is a refined wine, produced from Pinot Noir grown in the Saint-Romain appellation, a terroir recognized for its high altitude and cooler climate, ideal for this grape variety. This wine exemplifies the finesse and elegance of Pinot Noir, with aging in oak barrels which adds complexity while preserving the vibrant aromas of the fruit.

Aromas of the Cuvée

Saint-Romain Rouge offers a rich aromatic palette, marked by notes of fresh red fruits such as raspberry and cherry, accompanied by nuances of violets and sweet spices. Light wood and earthy aromas contribute to the depth of the wine, providing a well-rounded and inviting bouquet.

Characteristics of the Cuvée

Grape variety: Pinot Noir
Profile: This wine is characterized by its lightness and finesse, with silky tannins and well-integrated acidity which brings a pleasant freshness to the taste palette. Aging in oak gives a subtly woody texture that integrates perfectly with the fruit.
Aging Potential: Although delicious to taste young for its fruity freshness, this Saint-Romain has aging potential which will allow the tannins to soften and the complex aromas to develop over time.

Pairings with this Cuvée

This Saint-Romain Rouge goes wonderfully with delicate dishes such as roast poultry, mushroom risottos, or even elaborate vegetarian dishes. Its finesse makes it an excellent choice for special occasions where a subtle and elegant wine is sought.

Where are we traveling?

Burgundy is a real adventure land for wine lovers! Supported by a predominantly continental climate, Burgundy wines draw their unique character from diverse influences — continental, Mediterranean and oceanic — which intertwine to create a symphony of incomparable flavors. It is this climatic fusion that allows each Burgundy Grand Cru to reveal aromas and flavors that some consider to be the best in the world. From north to south, each Burgundian wine region, from Chablis to Mâconnais, benefits from its own microclimate. In Chablis, winegrowers combat spring frosts by wrapping the vines in a protective cocoon of frozen water. On the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, the hills capture the sunlight, generating hot summers which fill the grapes with sunshine, while the Mâconnais benefits from an almost Mediterranean climate, less prone to frost and drier. This mix of climatic conditions, combined with a diverse geology with more than 400 different soil types, gives each Burgundy wine its own identity. Each bottle is a story of terroir, a story of land and climate, an invitation to explore the rich wine heritage of Burgundy.

The little history of the country

Burgundy

France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is undoubtedly the most important wine producing country in the world. For centuries, it produced wine in greater quantities than any other country. Wine is ingrained in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. The diversity of French wines is due, in large part, to the country's wide variety of climates.
