Domaine Petit Roy, in Chorey-les-Beaune, was established by Seiichi Wang in 2017, thanks to his hard work and his commitment to creating exceptional wines in Burgundy. Having honed his skills with some of the greatest winemakers, including Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, Armand Rousseau and Anne Claude Leflaive, Seiichi Wang meticulously cultivates his more than two hectares of vines. To produce wines that are pure, perfectly balanced and bursting with aromas, he rigorously adheres to the principles of biodynamic viticulture in his winery and vineyard, using the most natural products possible. Each parcel of vines benefits from balanced, sustainable viticulture, with each plant receiving the necessary attention to preserve its individuality. The Chinese-born winemaker’s highly acclaimed wines brilliantly reflect his exacting standards and natural approach.

This Burgundy Aligoté, produced from 100% Aligoté grown under non-certified biodynamic practices, boasts plenty of tension, freshness and minerality. The teams at Domaine Petit-Roy, based in Chorey-Les-Beaune, avoid using new casks to reduce the influence of wood, and only add a small amount of sulphite during ageing to preserve the wine’s purest expression.
Let’s proceed with the tasting. The pale gold colour reveals a fruity (apple, lemon) and floral bouquet on the nose. On the palate, the wine exudes energy and liveliness, stimulating the taste buds. This white wine embodies an indulgent, fresh and quirky style, representative of the Burgundy Aligoté appellation, and is sure to deliver a well-balanced sensory experience.
This nectar is perfect as an aperitif (even without crème de cassis, for those who enjoy ‘Kir-Aligoté’), and also pairs wonderfully with seafood. Enjoy!
