Domaine des Croix - Saint-Romain 'Combe Bazin' Blanc - 2020

In terms of the winemaking, there was a light crushing, followed by a gentle, three-hour press and the wine was then fermented (wild) and aged in used 500-litre barrels, for one year on lees. There were another six months in tank before the wine was bottled. Croix notes that the archetypal Combe Bazin is a Saint-Romain that “fills out the palate”, and this is exactly what you get here; generosity balanced with juicy freshness from the terroir’s shallow, limestone soils and high altitude. It’s ready to enjoy now, but it will be at its best in another few years. Importer Notes, Bibendum
