Domaine Henri Latour Saint Romain Le Jarron 2022

Le Jarron is sourced from a Lieu-dit — a single named vineyard parcel — on the southern border of Saint Romain, a stone’s throw from Auxey-Duresses. Due to its comparatively higher altitude, this is a prime example of risk and reward in Burgundy. This higher altitude presents the perfect foil to global warming, resulting in an extraordinary freshness and lift. The downside is the increased danger of frost and the risk of losing part or all of the harvest.

From a 40-year average vines; 100% barrel; 20% new oak for 11 months. Yields are evtremely low. The nose is exuberant with loads of citrus blossom notes and wet stones; great concentration and depth with classic underlying tension; the fruit on the palate leans towards tropical and citrus entwined with toasty oak. This is one of the most luxurious Saint Romains I have tasted in some time. Do not miss this wine.
