Bourgogne Saint-Romain Côte de Beaune Roland Thévenin 0.75L 12%, vintage 1969

Bourgogne Saint-Romain Côte de Beaune Roland Thévenin 0.75L 12%, vintage 1969; Saint-Romain Côte de Beaune Roland Thévenin 1969 is a dry red (less often white) wine from the Saint-Romain appellation in the Côte de Beaune section. The red version is made from the Pinot Noir varietal and, in its youth, offered light to medium structure, fresh acidity and aromas of red fruits, with notes of earth and herbs. The 1969 vintage was rather moderate in quality in Burgundy. The wine comes from the small, family-owned Roland Thévenin winery, operating in the spirit of traditional Burgundian craftsmanship, where the emphasis is on vineyard work and an authentic reflection of the character of the local terroir of Saint-Romain, known for its more austere, mineral style of wines. Estimated price: £530-£600
