The wine displays an intense ruby-red colour. The nose reveals fresh aromas of red and dark fruits, including blackberries, redcurrants and raspberries.

On the palate, it is elegant and fruit-driven, with supple tannins and refreshing acidity. The flavours of ripe berries are complemented by subtle earthy and mineral notes, creating a balanced and refined Burgundy Pinot Noir.

The finish is elegant and persistent, with freshness and delicate fruit flavours lingering on the palate.

Jean-Philippe Marchand Saint-Romain Vieilles Vignes Sous Roche 2023 is a red Burgundy wine from the Côte de Beaune, made entirely from Pinot Noir grapes.

Saint-Romain is known for its hillside vineyards and limestone-rich clay soils, which help produce wines with fresh acidity, fine tannins and mineral complexity. The old-vine designation indicates that the wine is associated with older grapevines, although the exact age of the vines for this bottling has not been confirmed.

According to available producer listings, the grapes are hand-harvested, undergo approximately five days of cold maceration, and are fermented in open vats. The wine is then matured in oak barrels to develop structure and aromatic complexity.
