Maison du Cray, Saint Romain, 2023

Maison du Cray Saint-Romain 2023 is a refined Burgundy white that captures the clarity and elegance of this hillside village appellation. Produced by Château du Cray, it offers a fresh, terroir-driven expression that speaks to the cool, limestone-rich slopes of Saint-Romain, an area long prized for wines of precision and minerality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale gold color with bright green reflections. The nose is delicate and inviting, with notes of white flowers, citrus zest, crisp pear, and subtle wet stone, often complemented by a gentle touch of hazelnut or buttery nuance depending on élevage. On the palate, the wine is usually taut and lively, with a clean line of acidity, orchard fruit, citrus, and a mineral finish that brings balance and length. The 2023 vintage should offer early appeal thanks to its freshness, while still having the structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Production
Saint-Romain sits on high-altitude slopes in the Côte de Beaune, where limestone soils and a cooler microclimate help preserve freshness and aromatic definition. Grapes are typically harvested by hand in this kind of Burgundy production, with careful sorting to retain only healthy fruit. Vinification is usually focused on preserving purity and terroir expression, often with fermentation in oak and a measured use of lees aging to add texture without overwhelming the wine’s natural brightness.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roast chicken, grilled fish, shellfish, creamy pasta, and soft cheeses such as Brie or Chaource. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help it open up if enjoyed young.

Producer
Château du Cray is associated with traditional Burgundy winemaking and a focus on site-driven wines that reflect the character of their appellations. While not among the most widely known names in the region, producers like Château du Cray contribute to the strong reputation of Côte de Beaune whites by crafting balanced, expressive wines from esteemed village sites like Saint-Romain.
