2021 Marthe Henry, St-Romain Perriere

The 2021 Marthe Henry St-Romain Perrière is a striking Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s cool, elevated sites, where freshness and precision take center stage. Marthe Henry’s restrained, minimal-intervention approach lets the character of the vineyard speak clearly, resulting in a white wine defined by purity, tension, and a distinctly flinty mineral edge.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it is typically bright and pale, hinting at its lively, high-altitude origins. The nose is clean and focused, with aromas of white peach, citrus peel, crushed stones, and a subtle smoky flintiness that adds complexity without weight. On the palate, the wine is electric and finely cut, combining juicy orchard fruit with a long line of vibrant acidity. Its texture is precise rather than broad, finishing with a persistent mineral brightness that should allow it to age gracefully over the next several years.

Production
St-Romain sits on the higher, cooler slopes of Burgundy, where limestone-rich soils and altitude help preserve freshness and aromatic lift in the Chardonnay. Marthe Henry works with a light touch in both vineyard and cellar, favoring minimal intervention to retain the clarity and tension of the fruit, and the wine is crafted to emphasize terroir rather than overt winemaking influence.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled white fish, roast chicken, creamy poultry dishes, and goat’s cheese, where its acidity can cut through richness while complementing delicate flavors. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a brief decant only if needed to open up its flinty aromatics.

Producer
Marthe Henry is part of Burgundy’s new generation of producers focused on precision, restraint, and site expression. Her wines have gained attention for translating cool-climate Chardonnay into a style that is both energetic and deeply rooted in terroir, earning her a growing reputation among lovers of refined white Burgundy.
