Petit Roy Saint Romain Blanc En Chevrot 2022

Petit-Roy Saint Romain Blanc En Chevrot 2022 is a finely etched Burgundy Chardonnay that captures the tension between ripe fruit and stony freshness typical of this high-altitude appellation. Sourced from the En Chevrot lieu-dit, it offers a precise, mineral-driven expression that feels both modern and deeply rooted in tradition. This is a highly characterful white Burgundy from one of the region’s rising small domaines, crafted in tiny quantities with meticulous, artisan care.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 En Chevrot shows a pale lemon color with subtle green reflections, hinting at its youthful energy. The nose opens with crisp notes of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, backed by chalky minerality, wet stone, and a delicate floral lift—think acacia and spring blossoms. Gentle nuances of fresh hazelnut, light brioche, and a whisper of oak spice suggest careful élevage rather than heavy-handed wood. On the palate, the wine is taut yet generous: vibrant citrus and orchard fruit wrapped around a core of saline, limestone-driven tension. The texture is finely detailed—supple mid-palate weight balanced by a linear, mouthwatering acidity that keeps everything focused and precise. The finish is long, clean, and mineral, with lingering notes of citrus peel and cool stone. Enjoyable now for its purity and brightness, it should develop additional complexity—more nutty, honeyed, and savory nuances—over the next 5–8 years with proper cellaring.

Production
The fruit for this wine comes from En Chevrot, a well-regarded site in Saint-Romain known for its higher elevation, cooler exposures, and limestone-rich soils that naturally favor fresh, mineral Chardonnays. Farming is carried out along organic, low-intervention lines, with an emphasis on healthy, balanced vines and moderate yields. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve berry integrity, then gently pressed as whole clusters. The must is fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in Burgundy barrels (often larger formats and a modest proportion of new oak) to respect the purity of fruit and terroir. Sulfur is used sparingly, and the wine is bottled with minimal handling to retain its energy and precision.

Food & Serving
This Saint-Romain Blanc is an excellent partner for simply prepared seafood—think oysters, scallops, grilled prawns, or poached white fish—as well as roast chicken, veal in light cream sauces, and dishes with seasonal vegetables like asparagus, fennel, or leeks. It also works beautifully with soft-rind cheeses such as Brie, Chaource, or young Comté. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to highlight its freshness and complexity. Decanting for 20–30 minutes can help the aromatics open up, especially in its youth, but is not strictly necessary if served in a good-sized white wine glass.

Producer
Petit-Roy is a small, artisan domaine in Burgundy founded by Seiya and Michico Kobayashi, who have quickly gained a following for their thoughtful, low-intervention approach to winemaking. Working with carefully chosen parcels across the Côte de Beaune and surrounding appellations, they focus on expressing each terroir with clarity rather than power. Their style tends toward purity, finesse, and drinkability, with an emphasis on organic farming, native fermentations, and sensitive élevage. In a relatively short time, Petit-Roy has become one of the most talked-about new names in the region, especially among sommeliers and Burgundy enthusiasts seeking precise, vibrant wines with a distinct sense of place.
