This magnificent plot in Saint-Romain has a deep symbolic significance: it was the first piece of land acquired by Denis and Bernadette in 1976, and thrives in the shelter of a wall and limestone rocks reaching over two metres high. Its name comes from the old French term “Jarron,” meaning stony ground overgrown with scrubby vegetation. The young Chardonnay vines are rooted in fine, sandy red soil mixed with limestone scree. Its nose has alluring aromas of white flowers and citrus, complemented by a subtle mineral note. On the palate, the texture is fresh and luscious, with a lively and lingering finish. A precise, crisp, and charming white Saint-Romain that combines aromatic vibrancy, finesse, and minerality. While highly appealing in its youth, “Le Jarron” will only increase in depth and complexity after being laid down for between three to eight years.
