Vintage Character Originating from the cooler, high-altitude vineyards of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, the 2023 Petit Roy Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Rouge 'Ronsin' displays exceptional precision. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a warm, sun-drenched summer that allowed for optimal fruit ripeness, balanced by a cooler spring that preserved refreshing natural acidity. Sourced from a tiny 0.35-hectare parcel of old vines planted in 1968, this wine thrives on limestone-rich soils. The elevated, breezy microclimate of the "Ronsin" lieu-dit slows ripening, yielding grapes with concentrated flavors and a vibrant mineral backbone.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This bright, light-to-medium-bodied Pinot Noir opens with expressive aromas of fresh red cherry, wild raspberry, and lifted rose petals, punctuated by complex hints of white pepper and whole-cluster spice. The palate is ethereal yet structured, offering a silky texture and vibrant acidity that carries into a long, mineral-driven finish. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, wild mushroom risotto, or a classic Cantonese soy sauce chicken.
Winery Background Founded in 2016 by Japanese winemaker Seiichi Saito, Petit Roy has quickly become a highly coveted Burgundy micro-domaine. Having honed his craft at legendary estates like Armand Rousseau and Simon Bize, Saito applies strict biodynamic farming and a low-intervention philosophy. In the cellar, he favors gentle whole-bunch infusion rather than heavy extraction and minimizes sulfur use. This hands-off, meticulous approach captures the purest essence of the terroir, establishing Saito as a benchmark producer of elegant, modern Burgundy.
