Domaine Petit-Roy Bourgogne Rouge De Sousa 2020 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Petit-Roy Bourgogne Rouge De Sousa 2020 AOC 0.75l is an invitation to discover a restrained yet expressive Burgundy, designed for those seeking authenticity without rhetoric and those who wish to understand the character of a small family estate nestled among the region's vineyards: a red that speaks of soil, climate, and hands that have learned to guide the fruit with restraint. The producer's history is intertwined with a tradition of care and patience, passed down from generation to generation: a family that inhabits the land and discreetly interprets its inclinations, avoiding excess to allow the wine to express its true essence. This philosophy translates into a production approach that prioritizes respect for the terroir, hand-picked harvests, restrained winemaking, and alcohol management that aims to impart elegance without excess: a work that emphasizes the purity of the fruit, freshness, and a structural lightness that pairs well with everyday yet refined cuisine. De Sousa's distinctive achievement lies in the subtle balance between red fruit, minerality, and gentle tannins: the intense ruby ​​color, with garnet highlights, anticipates a bouquet of ripe strawberries, cherries, a hint of rose petals, and a refined yet unobtrusive spicy note. The palate offers a vibrant freshness, well-balanced savoriness, and a clean length that opens to a clean, refreshing finish. Compared to other wines in the same range, this Bourgogne Rouge stands out for its immediate accessibility, yet still maintains a complexity that emerges with time on the palate and at the table. It also offers a controlled aging potential, capable of evolving over the next few years. Its inclusion in the winery's portfolio serves as an ideal entry point for those exploring the world of Domaine Petit-Roy, providing a reliable companion to Piedmontese dishes featuring white meats, soft cheeses, and aromatic appetizers, with a versatility that makes it equally suited to convivial settings and contemplative moments. Serving at a cool temperature and allowing a brief opening in the glass allows you to appreciate its fragrance, precision and silent progression of flavours: a wine that, understated and refined, is ready to tell the story of Burgundy in the STELT context with an authentic and concrete voice.
