Reviewed August 2024Very cool and and focused, this mouthwatering Saint Romain has an extreme chalky minerality. Only medium-bodied, but really concentrated. Super-fresh and focused finish with so much fresh herb complexity (think sage and thyme). Very long and polished finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Saint-Romain Sous Le Velle is comparatively more backward on the nose, a little chalky in style with light Golden Delicious and orange pith scents. There is fine delineation with neatly integrated oak. The palate is well-balanced, with a tang of orange zest on the entry. This has a silver beard of acidity, lending real tension and matching the impressive depth towards the vibrant finish. Sous Le Velle is often one of the go-to vineyards in Saint-Romain, and this proves exactly why. (NM)

Palish lemon and lime. A fine and classy bouquet, floral but still with the racy freshness of St-Romain. Fresh apples on the palate, with an intensity that will demand a little bottle age.
Notes
The Buisson family has farmed in Saint-Romain for eight generations.Henri Buisson began to bottle his wine at the domaine after the Second World War, and today his grandsons Frédérick and Franck work a total of 20 hectares, certified organic since 2009 and using biodynamic methods.In the winery, the emphasis is on using a very gentle hand with completely ripe fruit and minimal intervention. The whites are superb and repay cellaring.
