Seiichi Saito of Domaine Petit-Roy is based in Chorey-les-Beaune where he has crafted precise and exhilarating wines since 2017. After attending the prestigious Beaune wine school in 2006, Seiichi went on to apprentice for over a decade at some of the finest domaines in Burgundy including Mugnier, Leflaive, Rousseau and Bize. Applying everything he has learned during this time to the 2 hectares of vines that comprise Domaine Petit-Roy, Seiichi farms biodynamically, and in the cellar favours whole cluster fermentations, gentle extraction, no new oak or filtration, and sulphur only at bottling where absolutely necessary. 

Bas des Loyères is Chardonnay from a 0.19 hectare plot of vines growing in clay, limestone and marl soils in  Sampigny-Les-Maranges. Elegant and open with intense citrus blossom (lemon, lime), pastry, quince and fine spice aromas.
