2024, Maison Benjamin Leroux, SAINT-ROMAIN, 'Sous le Château'Pale in colour. The bouquet shows much more apple than citrus. Good yield here. On the palate the fruit is that much riper, the apples being joined by some plums and a suggestion of peach. Acidity is fully folded into the fruit, in a pleasingly long finish. Drink from 2027 2030. **** 88 90 Jasper Morris MW The 2024 Saint Romain Sous Le Chteau has quite a leesy bouquet with fine delineation that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is fresh and citrus

structure with pretty

a bit hazy due to the alcohol

more so than I would personally like compared to the L'Aurage

This seems to "grow" in the glass

salty minerality

It just needs to knit together

This is the wine to go for in the Domaines Clarence Dillon stable this year

despite its richness

is apparent here

My personal preference was for the interpretation that showed the brightest fruit and the most energy

There is an underlying orange pith/tangerine element lending nuance

The palate is powerful with a round and precise texture full of contained energy
