Tasting notes
I also took the opportunity to look at the 2017 Saint-Romain Cuvée de la Mésange from bottle. It's more chiseled and mineral than its 2018 counterpart, with a medium-bodied, precise palate and aromas of citrus oil, crisp green pear, white flowers and blanched almonds.

The 2017 Saint-Romain Cuvée de la Mésange has a delicate lime flower and orange-blossom-tinged bouquet. The palate is well balanced with a pleasant fatness, and quite saline with a tang of lemongrass on the finish. Early-drinking but well crafted.
