Domaine Truchetet Saint-Romain Au Bas de Poillange Vignoble de Pauline 2023 white

Domaine Truchetet Saint-Romain Au Bas de Poillange Vignoble de Pauline 2023 is a finely etched white Burgundy that captures the freshness and lifted energy of Saint-Romain. Crafted from Chardonnay in a cool, high-altitude corner of the Côte de Beaune, it offers an elegant balance of ripe fruit, minerality and tension. The “Vignoble de Pauline” bottling highlights a carefully selected parcel, showcasing the precision and finesse that have made Domaine Truchetet a rising name in Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Saint-Romain shows a bright, pale lemon-gold hue with glints of green, hinting at its youthful vibrancy and crisp profile. The nose is expressive yet refined, opening with notes of lemon zest, white peach and green apple, followed by delicate floral tones of acacia and hawthorn. Layers of crushed stone, wet chalk and a touch of fresh almond add Burgundy’s hallmark mineral complexity. On the palate, the wine is precise and lively, driven by a spine of fresh acidity that frames its citrus and orchard fruit core. Think juicy pear, Meyer lemon and a touch of nectarine, wrapped in a subtle creaminess that suggests judicious élevage rather than heavy oak. The finish is long, saline and mouthwatering, with lingering notes of lemon pith, white flowers and chalky minerality. Enjoyable now for its purity and tension, it should develop additional nuance and hazelnutty complexity over the next 3–6 years with proper cellaring.

Production
The Saint-Romain appellation sits in a cool, elevated amphitheater of limestone and clay on the western side of the Côte de Beaune, and the Au Bas de Poillange lieu-dit benefits from stony, well-drained soils that are ideal for finely chiseled Chardonnay. Domaine Truchetet typically harvests by hand to preserve berry integrity, picking parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness to conserve natural acidity and aromatic freshness. In the cellar, gentle pressing and a cool, controlled fermentation in stainless steel and/or neutral Burgundian barrels allow the terroir to take center stage. Élevage on fine lees adds texture and depth without overpowering oak influence, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and subtly layered.

Food & Serving
This Saint-Romain pairs beautifully with refined yet uncomplicated dishes that echo its freshness and minerality: think oysters, grilled langoustines, seared scallops, poached white fish with beurre blanc, or roast chicken with lemon and herbs. It’s also a superb match for creamy goat’s cheese, young Comté, or lightly truffled dishes where delicacy is key. Serve at around 10–12°C (50–54°F) to preserve its aromatic lift and taut structure. A brief 20–30 minutes in the fridge before serving is ideal; if opened young, a light splash into a carafe or a few minutes in the glass will help the wine open and reveal its full range of citrus and mineral notes.
