Altesse - 2021 - Seiichi Saito
Petit Roy
A delicate, fresh cuvée of great class: lemon paste, beeswax, iodine, dried fruit, a hint of chalk. Full-bodied and aromatic, enhanced by a saline mid-palate and fine, crisp acidity.

100% Altesse from organic vines planted on a small plot in the village of Montagnieu in Savoie, which has a very chalky terroir. Hand-harvested, vinified at Seiichi's estate in Burgundy: direct pressing, the juices are directly moved into barrels for fermentations and ageing in a 228-liter and a 500-liter barrel for one year, three months in vats before bottling in November 2022. Unfined and unfiltered, with reasoned sulfites (32 mg/l total SO2).

Seiichi Saito is the winemaker at the head of Domaine Petit-Roy in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Born in China, he moved to Japan with his parents at the age of 11 to join his Japanese grandmother. A wine enthusiast who has always wanted to work in nature, he hesitated between Bordeaux and Burgundy when he arrived in France in 2005, but his passion for Pinot Noir won out. Good for him, he's on the verge...
