Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes De Beaune Rouge 2021 | Wine from Domaine Petit-Roy

The Domaine Petit-Roy, led by Seiichi Saito, embodies a handcrafted and passionate approach to Burgundian viticulture. Since its inception, Seiichi has imposed a unique style focused on the purity of the fruit, aromatic precision, and a sincere expression of the terroir. Each cuvée, regardless of its appellation status, is crafted with the same care and rigor. The wines from Domaine Petit-Roy captivate with their authenticity and their ability to tell a story, that of a humble and passionate winemaker.

The Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes De Beaune Rouge 2021 is made from 100% Pinot Noir. Carefully cultivated on meticulously maintained plots, this wine is aged for 16 months in non-new oak barrels. This aging method preserves the freshness of the fruit while adding a subtle woody complexity. The 2021 vintage, described as a "super Burgundian", offers a faithful expression of Pinot Noir, combining finesse, purity, and depth.

The bright ruby red color catches the eye. The nose reveals a precise and elegant aromatic palette with notes of fresh red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by light spicy and floral touches. On the palate, the texture is silky, the tannins almost imperceptible, and the balance between fruitiness and minerality is perfectly mastered. The finish is long, persistent, and vibrant.

It can also pair well with grilled poultry or mild aged cheeses like Brie de Meaux.
