Maranges Bas des Loyères - 2021 - Seiichi Saito
Petit Roy
As always with Petit Roy, we've fallen in love with it. The nose is pure and complex, with notes of citrus, butter and vanilla... The palate is concentrated, energetic and mineral, with a long, fruity finish. Rich and taut, very beautiful balance.

Seiichi Saito
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...
