{"title":"Chorey-lès-Beaune","description":"\u003cp\u003eChorey-lès-Beaune lies a few kilometers north of Beaune, near Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. Its vines do not climb the slope: they occupy the band at the foot of the Côte, on two \u003cstrong\u003ealluvial fans\u003c\/strong\u003e built from debris washed down from the plateau. The southern one, laid down by the small Rhoin river, is rich in limestone gravels; the northern one abounds in “chailles,” flint nodules. The gradients are slight, the vineyard opens to the east, and the stony subsoil drains well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA history of the village published in 1875 dates the first mention of its vines to 706, in the will of Ansebert, Bishop of Autun. The Hôtel-Dieu of Beaune, founded in the fifteenth century, received several vineyards here as gifts in the decades that followed. Until the 1930s, Chorey's wine was mostly sold under the better-known name of Beaune. In 1936 that name became an appellation in its own right, and the following year, on \u003cstrong\u003eJuly 31, 1937\u003c\/strong\u003e, Chorey obtained its own as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe appellation is Village level, and the commune has neither Premiers Crus nor Grands Crus. Almost all the wine is red from \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e, supple and elegant, with aromas of raspberry and sour cherry that shift over time toward strawberry jam and leather; the more structured vintages age well. White (Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc) covered about a tenth of the area in production in 2022. The label may show the name of the lieu-dit, such as Les Beaumonts or Pièce du Chapitre; the reds may also be sold as Côte de Beaune-Villages. The available bottles are listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"domaine-petit-roy-chorey-les-beaune-rouge-2019-075","title":"Domaine Petit-Roy Chorey-Les-Beaune Rouge 2019 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eDomaine Petit-Roy Chorey-Les-Beaune Rouge 2019 AOC 0,75l is a red wine that tells the story of sunlit slopes and vines cultivated with respect for the raw material: originating from Chorey-lès-Beaune, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, in Bourgogne, it embodies the AOC Chorey-Les-Beaune Rouge designation and the geographical specificity of an area where calcareous clay soil influences the texture of the fruit. The story of Domaine Petit-Roy is that of a small family estate that has chosen to showcase the purity of the terroir without resorting to commercial gimmicks: a philosophy that prioritizes patience, daily vineyard care, and attentive cellar management, with the aim of transforming each vintage into a coherent narrative between original identity and controlled modernity. The winemaking philosophy is based on minimal intervention, hand harvesting, robust yet supple fermentations at moderate temperatures, and focused ageing that alternates between French oak vessels of different sizes to preserve the freshness of the fruit and define a discreet tannic texture: approximately 12 months of maturation that reconcile temperament and elegance, without excessive fullness. In the glass, Domaine Petit-Roy Chorey-Les-Beaune Rouge 2019 shows a luminous ruby color and an aromatic profile recalling ripe cherries, black cherry, orange peel, and delicate notes of violet, subtle pepper, and hints of undergrowth; on the palate it is savory, with a structure of velvety tannins and a lively acidity that leads to a long, clean finish, where red fruit returns alongside a mineral trace that leaves an elegant signature. This wine holds a central place in the Domaine Petit-Roy range, offering an authentic expression of terroir and maturity, capable of accompanying medium-intensity dishes such as mushroom risotto, light game, or aged cheeses, while also responding to moments of solitary contemplation without losing its character.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine Petit-Roy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778862297413,"sku":"DOMPET-CHOROU-BOU-19-075","price":66.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Domaine-Petit-Roy-Chorey-Les-Beaune-Rouge-2019-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788873816"},{"product_id":"domaine-petit-roy-chorey-les-beaune-rouge-2018-075","title":"Domaine Petit-Roy Chorey-Les-Beaune Rouge 2018 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eDomaine Petit-Roy Chorey-Les-Beaune Rouge 2018 AOC 0,75 l is a proposition born in the heart of Burgundy, where the light of the hills meets a clay and limestone terroir on well-exposed slopes, offering a red wine that conveys, with restraint, the signature of a small family estate capable of transforming raw materials, tradition, and patience into a precise, elegant drinking experience always connected to the Chorey-Les-Beaune terroir. The history of Domaine Petit-Roy is that of an estate that has built, over time, a working philosophy focused on respecting the vineyard, preserving biodiversity, and highlighting the intriguing characteristics of each vineyard: attentive cultivation methods, hand harvesting, and meticulous selection of the grapes arriving at the winery, where the aim is to restore to the fruit its natural resilience and its ability to mature slowly. The production philosophy favors delicate handling of the must, controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and targeted maceration that enhances the balance between supple tannins and lively acidity, followed by aging in French oak barrels capable of imparting light toasted notes without losing the purity of the fruit; all this translates into a drinking experience that unfolds elegantly while offering a structure capable of evolving in the bottle. Among the distinctive traits of this wine is the interplay between ripe red fruit, woodland nuances, and an earthy minerality recalling the soil of origin, elements that make it immediately recognizable compared with other reds from the same area, while maintaining a refinement that avoids excess. Its stylistic and sensory characteristics come together in an intense ruby color with garnet reflections, an aromatic profile ranging from cherry and blackberry to a light herbaceous note, enriched by finely spiced pepper and a touch of cocoa; on the palate, it displays a silky texture, polished tannins, and a present yet balanced acidity that supports a persistent fruit drive and a long, clean finish, capable of accompanying medium-intensity dishes or enriching a contemplative tasting. Within the producer’s range, Domaine Petit-Roy Chorey-Les-Beaune Rouge 2018 presents itself as an entry point to a refined interpretation of Burgundy, offering character without ostentation and fitting easily into dining-room and table settings that favor well-structured but not excessive cuisine. It therefore confirms itself as an ideal choice for those seeking authenticity, regional coherence, and a drinking experience capable of evolving over time, balanced between the memory of the soil and the freshness of the fruit, a quiet presence that invites a discreet yet high-level pairing, a proposition reflecting a premium, understated, and never promotional profile, finding its ideal setting in the carefully curated STELT selection.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine Petit-Roy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778862362949,"sku":"DOMPET-CHOROU-BOU-18-075","price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Domaine-Petit-Roy-Chorey-Les-Beaune-Rouge-2018-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788873818"}],"url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/chorey-les-beaune.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
