DOMAINE DE LA ROSERAIE CHARDONNAY ARTEMIS BEAUNE 2022 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 Beaune Chardonnay “Artemis” 2022 is a 100% Chardonnay cuvée from selected plots within the Beaune appellation on classic clay-limestone soils. It follows the domaine’s natural philosophy: whole-bunch pressing, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, and no sulfur additions. The wine ages for about 12 months in oak barrels (low new oak percentage) before natural stabilization and hand-bottling without fining or filtration.

TASTING NOTE:

The 2022 Artemis Chardonnay opens with a fine, harmonious nose of ripe citrus (grapefruit, cedar), white-fleshed fruits (Williams pear, yellow peach), fresh almond, white flowers, and chalky minerality evoking wet stone and fossil shells, with subtle noble butter notes emerging on aeration. On the palate, it is dense and juicy with a creamy, silky texture that wraps the mouth in balanced harmony. Vibrant, saline acidity provides lift and linearity, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by candied citrus, toasted almond, and an iodine-tinged mineral freshness that adds depth and elegance. A pure, terroir-driven white with excellent tension and complexity.
