The 2021 Les Romains embodies a pure, clean, and focused expression. Delicate flint notes grace the nose, while a precise line of acidity and push-pull texture captivates the palate. Firm and assertive, it reflects its terroir firmly planted on the flinty side of Sancerre's fault line. Unlike wines from chalk soils, this one eschews pretty florals for a tension alongside greener-edged fruit. While assertive and vertical, it may lack some nuance, but over time, it promises improvement while retaining its brightness—a departure from the immediate charm often found in limestone wines.
