Barolet-Pernot, Saint Romain Rouge – 2022

A refined expression of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, Barolet-Pernot Saint-Romain Rouge 2022 showcases the elegant and vibrant character of Pinot Noir from this picturesque, limestone-rich appellation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this expressive vintage combines fresh red fruit, silky texture, delicate spice, and subtle earthy complexity, offering a beautifully balanced Burgundy with both charm and finesse.

Brilliant ruby red in color with delicate garnet reflections, it opens with captivating aromas of wild strawberry, ripe cherry, raspberry, and red currant, gracefully layered with notes of violet, dried herbs, forest floor, subtle pepper, and gentle earthy spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, supple texture, revealing vibrant flavors of red cherry, cranberry, raspberry, and ripe plum. Fine-grained tannins and lively acidity provide excellent structure and freshness, while delicate mineral and savory nuances add depth and complexity without overpowering the wine’s pure fruit character.

The finish is long, smooth, and refreshingly persistent, leaving lingering notes of ripe red berries, floral nuances, gentle spice, and subtle earthy minerality that beautifully reflect the distinctive character of Saint-Romain.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, herb-roasted vegetables, soft cheeses, and classic French cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served slightly chilled at 14–16°C. Lightly decant for 15–20 minutes before serving to fully reveal its expressive aromas, silky texture, and refined complexity.
