****4 Star Jasper Morris Selection: 87-90 pts
80 years old+ vines which the Rougeots have had en fermage for thirty years. First up there is less in the way of aroma evident on the nose, a softer fruit perhaps, very pure ripe orchard fruit, plenty of flesh for St Romain, lower acidity, but very fine length. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.

Our Tasting Note: The most conventional of the 3 wines we tasted. A medium lemon yellow gold. The nose is richer, juicy and fresh fuji apple and summer peach, toasty notes, vanilla, toast, the barrel use is apparent but well integrated. The palate is mouthwatering with med/slightly med+ acidity, med/med+ body, finishes medium+ with toasty hazelnuts and ginger.  This has a really full mid palate.
