Vintage Character Petit‑Roy Bourgogne Hautes‑Côtes de Beaune Ronsin 2022 is a lively, terroir‑driven Pinot Noir that captures the energy of the Hautes‑Côtes and the balance of the 2022 vintage. The year was warm and generous in Burgundy, with a sunny summer moderated by cooler nights and timely rains, producing wines of ripe fruit, freshness, and supple tannins.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This cuvée shows a bright ruby color and aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, lifted by floral notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium‑bodied and vibrant, with juicy fruit, fine tannins, and a mineral backbone that carries through to a long, elegant finish. Its freshness and precision make it a versatile partner for roast chicken with herbs, mushroom risotto, or a wedge of aged goat cheese, offering both finesse and approachability.
Winery Background Domaine Petit‑Roy, founded in 2017 by Japanese‑born winemaker Seiichi Saito, has quickly established itself as one of Burgundy’s most exciting young domaines. Saito trained at some of the region’s most prestigious estates, including Simon Bize, Jacques‑Frédéric Mugnier, Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Leflaive, before creating his own domaine in Chorey‑lès‑Beaune. Farming is carried out organically and biodynamically, though without formal certification, and the cellar philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention. Grapes are hand‑harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in used oak barrels, with no fining or filtration and minimal sulfur at bottling. The Ronsin cuvée reflects this artisanal approach, offering a wine that is pure, energetic, and expressive of its Hautes‑Côtes terroir. It highlights both the authenticity of the site and the precision of Saito’s craftsmanship, underscoring why Petit‑Roy has rapidly gained a reputation for producing wines of vibrancy, transparency, and elegance.
