2020 Henri Clerc Saint Romain

This vibrant Chardonnay from the cool slopes of Saint-Romain offers a beautifully restrained and mineral expression of Burgundy. Pale gold in the glass, it opens with inviting aromas of lemon curd, green apple, and pear, complemented by subtle hints of white flowers, wet stone, and a whisper of almond.

The palate is taut and linear, marked by crisp acidity and a vivid core of citrus and stone fruit. There’s a gentle creaminess from well-judged oak aging, adding finesse without overshadowing the wine’s refreshing, terroir-driven character. A touch of flint and toasted hazelnut lingers on the finish, providing both length and complexity.

Bright, focused, and full of energy, the 2020 Saint-Romain is a classic expression of its appellation.
