Domaine Petit-Roy Bourgogne Rouge De Sousa 2018 AOC 1,5l

In the context of a Burgundy that preserves its heritage while embracing new interpretations, Domaine Petit-Roy Bourgogne Rouge De Sousa 2018 AOC 1.5l presents itself as a red with a measured character and great practicality, designed to be shared with family and friends, in a magnum format that invites evolution over time and a more contemplative reading of the wine. The producer, Domaine Petit-Roy, was born from the commitment of a family rooted in the Côte d'Or region, where the vineyard is cultivated with respect and care: each vintage is born from knowledge of the soil, exposure, and careful management of the harvest, favoring a contained yield that allows the Pinot Noir to express itself without forcing the material. The company's identity is nourished by a family tradition transformed into a contemporary method, capable of combining winemaking precision and sensitivity for the terroir: manual harvesting, careful selection, and a vinification that tends to maintain purity and freshness, without sacrificing a certain depth. Distinctive is the carefully balanced blend of red fruit and floral nuances, a discreet minerality, and a fine tannic thrust that sustains the flavor without weighing it down. The palate is clean, flowing, yet not banal, with a finish reminiscent of clayey soils and traces of light spice, maintaining an elegant progression from entry to finish. In this 2018 version, the release of fruity notes is immediate yet controlled, offering ripe cherry and strawberry accompanied by a subtle violet hue, which blend with a savory texture and a pleasantly long finish. This wine occupies a prominent position within the producer's portfolio, serving as both an entry point and a starting point for development: it is designed for those who wish to discover a reliable Burgundy, but also for those who wish to refine their eye and palate in the glass, relying on a product that retains the character of the vintage and the identity of Domaine Petit-Roy without betraying the sobriety required by the appellation. For those seeking an authentic and responsible drinking experience, this wine represents a choice consistent with the STELT positioning, where balanced quality meets discreet elegance and operational longevity of tasting.
