Tasting Notes
From the heart of Saint-Romain—bursting with juicy cherry and strawberry, vibrant and full of life! 🍒
Benchmark Saint-Romain. 4th Generation Vignerons. Michelin restaurant favourite.
From the first pour, this Saint-Romain is all about vibrancy. Deep red with purple highlights, it bursts with juicy cherry and wild strawberry, while silky tannins and fresh acidity keep everything in check. There’s a hint of spice, a whisper of oak, and a finish so lively it practically does a victory lap. Juicy, structured, and dangerously drinkable—this is old-vine power at its finest.
📍 The Name
‘Vielles Vignes’ means old vines—45 to 55 years old, to be precise. And with age comes character. These deep-rooted vines bring concentration, complexity, and a level of richness that sets this wine apart.

Technical Details
20% whole-cluster fermentation brings extra freshness and bite, while a 12- to 15-day maceration ensures maximum color and structure. Gentle pressing, daily pump-overs, and precise temperature control bring balance, while 12 months in oak (15% new) adds just the right touch of spice. Hand-harvested, meticulously sorted, and aged to perfection—this is Saint-Romain with serious pedigree.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes, especially if you enjoy youthful, vibrant Burgundy. It has plenty to give now, but there is more to come with a little time in bottle.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
