2021 Armand Heitz Saint-Romain Combe Bazin Blanc is a beautifully precise and mineral-driven Chardonnay from a cooler, high-altitude village just above Meursault. The nose is fresh and lifted, showing lime, lemon zest and green apple, layered with white peach, white flowers and pronounced chalky minerality. The limestone-rich soils of Combe Bazin give the wine a very clean, flinty and terroir-focused aromatic profile, with excellent purity
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a "smart Meursault alternative". It delivers the same limestone minerality and Chardonnay purity, but in a more focused, fresher and better-value package. Perfect for customers who enjoy Chablis, Puligny or leaner Burgundy styles, or those who want to explore Burgundy without jumping straight into higher price tiers. A great high-intelligence, high-value Burgundy SKU, ideal with oysters, scallops or grilled fish, and best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years.
