Introduction:
The 2023 Domaine Florence Cholet Saint‑Romain “Sous La Velle” Rouge offers a beautifully refined and vibrant Burgundy Pinot Noir. Delicate yet energetic, it presents a vivid expression of the cool-climate charm of Saint‑Romain.

Terroir:
This wine is grown in the "Sous La Velle" lieu-dit within Saint‑Romain, Côte de Beaune. The vineyard’s lightly sloped clay-limestone soils and cooler microclimate yield purity and tension, with crispness and minerality at the forefront.

Appearance:
Bright ruby with a clear, translucent quality showing youthful focus and elegance.

Nose:
Scented with red cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, lifted by floral nuances and gentle underbrush. A thread of earthy, stony minerality adds complexity without overwhelming the delicate fruit.

Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and polished, fine-grained tannins. The profile is centered on red berries—think cherry and raspberry—complemented by soft spice, a hint of forest floor, and chalky mineral contours.

Finish:
Clean and graceful—red fruit lingers with delicate herbal notes and a subtle saline lift that keeps the finish focused and lingerlonger.

Overall Impression:
An exquisite regional Pinot Noir, this wine captures finesse, clarity, and terroir-driven grace. It’s a versatile companion—from Sunday-roasted chicken to mushroom risotto or earthy appetizers. Best enjoyed between 2024 and 2028 as it unfolds further nuance.
