Domaine de Bellene Vieilles Vignes Saint-Romain 2023 in Brampton, ON

In this case old vines takes on greater meaning with 55 years being the average and the age carries weight as witnessed by the volumetric presence of this Beaune locale. You can feel the weight and presence in the perfumes alone, mellifluous and full floral, a Saint-Romain quality that simply makes this one of the best values for Chardonnay anywhere in Bourgogne. Or the world for that matter because layering, complexity and length are all outstanding, not to mention the exquisite nature of its touch upon the palate. Drink 2025-2030. Tasted March 2025. Score - 92.
