{"product_id":"domaine-de-bellene-vieilles-vignes-saint-romain-blanc-2022","title":"Domaine de Bellene, Vieilles Vignes Saint-Romain Blanc, 2022","description":"VIEILLES VIGNES SAINT-ROMAIN from Nicolas Potel's Domaine de Bellene. If you know Burgundy, you know this name. If you don't, allow us. We've been quietly stockpiling Potel's whites for years now, and this 2022 might just be our favourite raid yet. The man spent time at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti before striking out on his own. Now he's making some of the most thrilling white Burgundy in the Côte de Beaune, and Saint-Romain is where he really lets rip.\n\n​\n\nSaint-Romain sits just behind Meursault and Auxey-Duresses, tucked into a limestone amphitheatre at altitude. The vines here are fifty years old, gnarly and low-yielding, pulling minerals from rock that Chardonnay was basically invented for. Potel ferments in barrel, ages on fine lees, and bottles something that punches miles above its weight. That lees ageing gives it a gorgeous creamy texture without losing an ounce of freshness. Jancis Robinson once called his wines \"Burgundy as it should be, made with real conviction.\" We'd struggle to disagree.\n\n​\n\nI first opened this on a Tuesday evening with absolutely nothing planned, and the next thing I knew it was 11pm and I was scraping the last of a sourdough loaf through a puddle of good butter. Citrus blossom, white peach, crushed almonds, and that creamy, almost silky mouthfeel wrapped around a saline mineral core that just keeps pulling you back.\n\n​\n\nIf you've ever wondered what proper white Burgundy tastes like without the proper white Burgundy price tag, this is your answer.","brand":"Casedrops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54181639782746,"sku":"cmpfd0umn00170bhw776x7aiy","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/0141\/5514\/files\/cmnt9cx6d000h04jr2qlpjb6v_e065dea5-ab32-4ef0-916f-e5bc6e7bf84e.webp?v=1779360037","url":"https:\/\/shop.casedrops.com\/products\/domaine-de-bellene-vieilles-vignes-saint-romain-blanc-2022","provider":"Casedrops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
