From a three-hectare parcel planted with old massal selection Pinot Noir, the 2017 Saint-Romain Sous Roches offers up aromas of raspberries, rich soil tones and a very discrete framing of toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and open-knit palate that displays more volume and powdery structuring tannin than the Combe Bazin bottling.
