Barolet-Pernot, Saint Romain Blanc – 2022

A graceful expression of Burgundy Chardonnay, Barolet-Pernot Saint-Romain Blanc 2022 captures the freshness, purity, and distinctive mineral character of this elevated Côte de Beaune appellation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this elegant vintage offers a beautifully balanced combination of vibrant orchard fruit, crisp acidity, and refined minerality, making it an approachable yet sophisticated Burgundy white.

Brilliant pale gold in color with delicate green reflections, it opens with inviting aromas of green apple, pear, white peach, and lemon zest, gracefully layered with notes of citrus blossom, white flowers, fresh almond, and subtle limestone minerality. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky, refreshing texture, revealing flavors of crisp orchard fruits, lemon, grapefruit, and ripe peach. Bright natural acidity provides excellent freshness and precision, while delicate mineral notes add depth and structure. A gentle creamy nuance rounds the palate, creating a harmonious Chardonnay with both elegance and lively character.

The finish is clean, crisp, and pleasantly persistent, leaving lingering notes of citrus, pear, white peach, and subtle flinty minerality that beautifully express the cool, limestone-rich character of Saint-Romain.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish, prawns, scallops, fresh goat cheese, roasted chicken, vegetable tarts, and light Burgundian cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served chilled at 9–11°C. Allow the wine to rest in the glass for a few minutes before serving to fully reveal its fresh aromas, silky texture, and delicate mineral complexity.
