WINEMAKER
Romain Pertuzot
Established in 2024 in Chorey-les-Beaune, Burgundy
Romain comes from a long-established winegrowing family in Chorey-les-Beaune, rooted in the village for generations. His path started early: as a teenager, he learned to vinify alongside his father, who spent over 30 years as maître de chai at Louis Latour in Beaune.
From there, he continued to refine his craft with some of the region’s most respected names: Nicolas Rossignol in Volnay, Anne Gros in Vosne-Romanée, and seven years as chef de cave at Domaine Jacques Prieur. In September 2024, Romain officially launched his own domaine. Today he farms 3.2 hectares across Chorey-les-Beaune, Beaune and Pommard, complemented by a small négociant activity for Bourgogne Aligoté and Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. His vineyards are worked biodynamically, without herbicides, guided by lunar cycles and meticulous detail. His goal is simple: to produce Burgundies of clarity, authenticity and terroir-driven precision.
What I love is the energy: these are wines that feel intentional, never overworked, never dressed up but still classical. You can sense a winemaker who knows the “big house” playbook — and still chooses the smaller, more personal route.
The ambition isn’t loud; it’s in the details, the pacing, and the confidence to let the vineyard speak first. Expect a style that leans into definition and freshness, with structure that’s there but never bulky.
And because this domaine is still at the beginning, every vintage feels like another chapter getting sharper — the kind of story you want to follow early, before everyone else catches on.
