Domaine Romanin Mâcon Solutré Pouilly
£22.95
Tasting Notes
Lovely and golden in the glass with silvery reflections leading to total transparency on the rim of the glass. The wine is bright, crystalline, limpid and has good concentration. On the nose it gradually exudes subtle aromas of white flowers, citrus fruit and dried fruit (hazelnut)
The palate is immediate and the attack quite rich. It plays on the relationship between fruit (grapefruit) and minerality (flint), asserting a beautiful balance and a harmony that has already been achieved but which could be perfected in 1 to 2 years.
Producer Profile
Domaine Romanin is located in the centre of the village of Fuissé, right at the heart of the famous vineyards of Pouilly-Fuissé, where the Domaine’s Vervier Family are now into their fifth generation of winegrowing. Unsurprisingly, tradition plays a key part in Denis Vervier’s vinous strategies as he goes about crafting his exemplary and authentic expressions, with sustainable viticulture, manual harvesting, time-tested cellar techniques and scrupulous attention to detail all key components.
The vines are between 30 and 70 years old and enjoy a south/south-eastern exposure that is highly conducive to ripening, with the clay and limestone soils typical of the region bestowing their own unique characteristics on the Chardonnay fruit via fruity and floral nuances. There is, particularly with the blended Pouilly-Fuissés, a skill in the assemblage that sets this area of Burgundy apart.
In 1998, Denis Vervier, after studying at the Macon-Davayé winemaking college, took over the management of the family estate. This artisan winemaker produces very fine Burgundy wines, which have won several awards. His discretion belies a unique expertise and an unconditional love for the vine. His secret: constantly seeking the perfect ripeness of the grapes to reveal their finest expression. The estate now covers 12 hectares of vines (Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâcon-Fuissé, Mâcon-Solutré), all managed using sustainable agriculture.
Viticulture
The Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly is made from vines in the commune of Solutré-Pouilly, at the foot of the Roche, a famous limestone spur and Grand Site de France. These vines, which are 20 years old, are located in the upper part of the village. Their very clayey terroir allows us to make a rich and very fragrant wine.
Winemaking
As a Non-interventionist, Denis uses very few external products but has not yet converted to being fully organic. The wines go througha very light filtration before bottling, just to make sure the wines are clear.
Goes well with
With its signature minerality, notes of citrus, white peach, and sometimes subtle toasty or creamy flavours make it a natural match for seafood, poultry, creamy sauces, and cheese.
Cellaring
Enjoy now, or cellar for 2-4 years.
