The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The Domaine Alain Gras, the crowning jewel of Saint-Romain, has been thriving insolently through the decades. This flagship estate, which has elevated the appellation's presence on the menus of the finest Michelin-starred restaurants, passionately and fervently champions the wines of the Côte de Beaune, also owning vineyards in Meursault, Auxey-Duresses, and Pommard.

Today, the legacy is confidently carried on by Arthur Gras, the son of the house. Without a doubt, he will continue to produce straightforward, impeccably crafted, and immediately delightful wines, capable of standing toe-to-toe with the greatest terroirs of the Côte de Beaune.
Wine Blended from various terroirs of the appellation across just over 3 hectares, the 2022 White Saint-Romain Les Cinq Climats is a pure delight of mastery and indulgence. It's an evocative white wine, with notes of ripe fruits complemented by a slightly exotic touch, draped in beautiful freshness and, most notably, a generous mouthfeel. Its rich and opulent character makes it simply irresistible.
Vinification Hand-harvested. Blend of five terroirs in the Saint-Romain appellation: "Sous la Velle", "Poillange", "La Croix Neuve", "Le Jarron" and "Le Village Haut", with a total surface area of 3ha 66a et 68ca. 20 to 30% de-stemmed grapes, pneumatic pressing, temperature control. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in barrels. Aged for 12 months in barrels (20% new) and vats.
