Vintage Character For the 2023 vintage, the Petit Roy Chorey-lès-Beaune 'Les Beaumonts' shines as a testament to precision winemaking in a year that yielded generous, beautifully ripe fruit balanced by vibrant acidity. Hailing from the village appellation of Chorey-lès-Beaune in Burgundy, this cuvée comes from 'Les Beaumonts', a lieu-dit characterized by alluvial, iron-rich limestone-clay soils that impart a distinct, stony minerality and structural tension to the Pinot Noir.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, this medium-bodied red offers a bright core of wild raspberry and red cherry, framed by elegant hints of peony, black tea, and a subtle herbal spice. It finishes with fine-grained, silky tannins and an uplifting freshness, making it an exceptional partner for roasted duck breast with cherry reduction or a classic French coq au vin.

Saito, who honed his craft at legendary estates like Domaine Armand Rousseau and Domaine Leflaive, employs minimal intervention and whole-cluster fermentation to produce pure, terroir-driven Burgundies of remarkable transparency and elegance.
