Domaine Petit-Roy Hautes Cotes de Beaune Rouge 2018 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Petit-Roy Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge 2018 AOC 0.75l is a wine born from altitude, from the combination of limestone and marl soils planted close to the hills of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, offering an authentic interpretation of the terroir. Domaine Petit-Roy's history is rooted in a small family-run winery that has chosen to enhance old vineyards and meticulous cellar practices, with a philosophy that favors respectful vineyard management, measured agronomic practices, and controlled ripening to preserve freshness and territoriality. The company's vision is to subtly showcase the diversity of exposures and soils, offering wines capable of accompanying everyday moments and special occasions without ostentation. Distinctive features: the choice of Pinot Noir grapes grown on slopes with soils rich in limestone present a mild yet present structure, smooth tannins, and a depth of fruit that unfolds over a luminous aromatic profile, yet tempered by a light spiciness reminiscent of candle wax and a hint of humus. On the nose, ripe red fruits, blackberries, and cherries emerge, intertwined with a palette of Mediterranean herbs, citrus zest, and a mineral trace that reflects the terroir's calcicity. On the palate, the wine presents a texture of fine tannins, a hint of acidity that keeps the flavor texture alive, medium body, and a progression that leads to a long, clean, and slightly spicy finish. Within the Domaine Petit-Roy range, Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge 2018 demonstrates the winery's ability to offer accessible yet profound wines, capable of pairing with white meat dishes, mushrooms, or medium-aged cheeses, offering continuity and identity through an appellation that defines geography and tradition. This wine thus presents itself as an essential piece of the line, ready to engage in moments of sharing and reflection, without claiming superfluous prominence, but offering coherence and elegance within the STELT positioning.
