For decades the family sold their best fruit to négociants, Olivier Leflaive among them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat changed when fourth-generation vigneron Romain Barolet-Pernot took over in 2017, bringing the fruit back in-house and building a new cellar fitted with stainless steel thermoregulated tanks. Romain works alongside his parents and siblings on a 14-hectare estate that stretches across Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses, and Puligny-Montrachet. The transformation has been swift: what was once a reliable source of bulk fruit for famous houses is now a micro-domaine producing some of the most compelling village-level Burgundy in the Côte de Beaune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSous la Velle (“under the village”) is a steeply sloped vineyard on the northern end of the Saint-Romain appellation, sitting at roughly 370 meters elevation with an east\/southeast exposure. The soils are hard, stony limestone, forcing vines to root deep and imparting a pronounced mineral signature. Romain’s chardonnay here is hand-harvested and pressed full-cluster, gravity settled, then fermented on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel before aging 11 months in older French oak cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage in Burgundy was generous in both volume and sunshine, with a late-season heatwave that brought the crop to full ripeness quickly. For high-altitude Saint-Romain, that warmth filled out the wine without erasing its natural tension. Expect notes of meyer lemon zest, poached quince, tarragon, and Roman chamomile on the nose, with a silky palate that finishes on crushed chalk\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yes Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51411952959784,"sku":"AT23BAROLETSOUSLEVELLE750","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1794\/6152\/files\/Barolet-PernotPere_Fils_SaintRomainBlanc.jpg?v=1773263176","url":"https:\/\/yes-society.com\/products\/2023-barolet-pernot-saint-romain-blanc-sous-le-velle-burgundy-fr","provider":"Yes Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
