2023 Petit Roy Saint-Romain "En Chevrot"

The 2023 Petit Roy Saint-Romain "En Chevrot" hails from a high-elevation, south-facing plateau in this Côte de Beaune gem, crafted by Japanese winemaker Seiichi Saito. Pale gold with green highlights, it bursts with white peach, citrus zest and acacia aromas, laced with flinty minerality and wet stone. Bright acidity cuts through creamy lees texture, delivering ripe stone fruit, lemon curd and saline depth on a medium-bodied frame. The finish lingers with hazelnut and chalky persistence, showcasing En Chevrot's limestone purity. Saito's low-intervention approach—natural fermentation, used barrels—yields refined tension. Pair with pan-seared foie gras, sautéed veal or aged goat cheese. Drink 2025-2030.

2023 Petit Roy Fusion Bourgogne Aligoté

Petit Roy's 2023 Fusion Bourgogne Aligoté innovates with a Chardonnay-Aligoté co-ferment, blending creamy richness and crisp vitality. Light straw hue reveals green apple, lemon verbena and white tea aromas, touched by honeysuckle and bitter almond. The palate marries Aligoté's zesty snap with Chardonnay's subtle weight, offering citrus pith, stone fruit and herbal lift through a textured, mineral core. Faint pétillant adds playfulness to the dry, refreshing finish. Seiichi Saito's precise vinification elevates regional fruit to village quality. Perfect for oysters, shellfish ceviche or herb-infused poultry. Enjoy now through 2027.
