Romance comes from Sandhi’s preeminent site — a small stripe of clone 76 Chardonnay, one of Burgundy’s top selections, planted on the uplifted river terraces directly beneath the Domaine de la Côte estate.

Romance continues to stun with a profile all its own: Korean pear, seashell, vernal white flowers and fresh cream make for an entire room of sensory pleasure, elegant in its angles and natural light and comfortable in soft, deep resonance to lean back into and be enveloped within as the finish stretches out. Drink or now or wait; this tête de cuvée will reward either.
