La Maison Romane Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Caines Carteaux 2022

Grape: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2022
Type: Red

This premier cru red Burgundy is crafted from hand-picked pinot noir grapes by Oronce de Beler at La Maison Romane. The fruit undergoes a traditional whole-cluster fermentation driven by native wild yeasts, followed by a complete spontaneous malolactic conversion. It ages for fifteen to nineteen months in French oak barrels sourced from the Tronçais forest to build structural complexity. Following the lunar calendar, all juice movements rely on natural gravity flow instead of pumps, and bottling occurs unfiltered.

It shows a deep ruby color, releasing an inviting bouquet of ripe black cherry, plum, woodsmoke, and warm spices. On the palate, the medium-bodied frame is structured and balanced, pairing concentrated red fruit flavors with a firm, fine-grained tannin profile. Savory notes of dried tobacco leaf and cedar shavings blend into the fruit core across mid-palate. A clean wave of natural acidity runs through the center, keeping the texture fresh.
