DOMAINE DE LA ROSERAIE PINOT NOIR GYMNOPODIE BOURGOGNE HAUTES COTES DE BEAUNE 2021 750ml

ABOUT THE SAKE

Domaine de la Roseraie is a small, family-oriented natural wine estate founded in 2012 by Julien Petitjean in Nolay, within the Côte de Beaune. A former historian and archaeologist with a background in musicology, Petitjean transitioned to viticulture after training at La Viti in Beaune and working at various domaines in the Côte de Nuits. The property spans about 5–5.8 hectares (with roughly 2.8–3 ha in active production) across appellations including Beaune, Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, and Bourgogne. Committed to minimal intervention and environmental respect, the domaine practices biodynamic-inspired methods, agrobiology without synthetic chemicals, cover cropping, biodiversity enhancement with trees and spontaneous plants, and lightweight equipment to preserve soil life. Winemaking emphasizes purity, ancestral techniques, and terroir expression with little to no added sulfites.
Domaine de la Roseraie Gymnopodie Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune 2021 is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the 0.4 ha plot “Baudet au Nord” in Cormot-Nolay. The old vines (56–71 years old) grow on clay-limestone soils at higher altitude, bringing freshness and minerality. It is 100% Pinot Noir, farmed with minimal intervention and biodynamic-inspired practices. Vinification is minimalist: whole-bunch fermentation using gentle infusion techniques with very limited extraction. The wine ages approximately 18 months in oak barrels (low percentage new oak), followed by natural stabilization and hand-bottling without fining or filtration.

TASTING NOTE:

Bright pale ruby hue. The nose is delicate and aromatic with crunchy red fruits — cherry, raspberry, redcurrant — floral notes (violet, rose), subtle earth, and forest floor undertones. The palate is lithe and elegant, showing vibrant acidity, silky refined tannins, juicy red fruit purity, mineral tension, and a clean, persistent finish. Graceful, energetic, and highly drinkable with beautiful finesse typical of natural Burgundy. Approachable now, it will develop nicely through 2029–2030. A pure, terroir-driven expression of Hautes-Côtes de Beaune.
