Saint-Romain wine
French wine
Saint-Romain wine is produced in the commune of Saint-Romain in Côte de Beaune of Burgundy. Rather than being situated on the main Côte d'Or escarpment, as most of the other Côte de Beaune wine villages, the vineyards of Saint-Romain are mainly located in a side valley to the west of Auxey-Duresses, in the direction of the communes and vineyards of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Most vineyards of Saint-Romain are located on slopes of various directions. The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Saint-Romain may be used for red and white wine with respectively Pinot noir and Chardonnay as the main grape variety. A little more than half of the production consists of white wine. There are no Grand Cru and no Premier Cru vineyards within Saint-Romain.
Production
In 2008, there was 96.25 hectares (237.8 acres) of vineyard surface in production for Saint-Romain wine, and 3,897 hectoliters of wine were produced, of which 1,779 hectoliters were red wine and 2,118 hectoliters were white wine. Some 43.82 hectares (108.3 acres) of this area was used for the red wines in 2007. The total amount produced corresponds to just over 500,000 bottles, of which slightly less than 250,000 bottles of red wine and closer to 300,000 bottles of white wine.
Grapes and wine styles
For white wines, the AOC regulations allow both Chardonnay and Pinot blanc to be used, but most wines are 100% Chardonnay.
