2024 Les Petits Lieux, Beaune Rouge, 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes

Domaine Les Petits Lieux is a benchmark-setting estate founded in Vosne-Romanée by Guillaume Rouget and Laure Guilloteau, operating out of the historic cellars once belonging to Henri Jayer. Made from organically farmed fruit sourced from the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Cents Vignes in Beaune, the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in neutral Burgundian oak barrels. The 2024 vintage yields an expressive profile driven by primary red and blue cherries, balanced by fine-grained tannins and a distinctly earthy, mineral backbone. Reflecting the cooler, classical edges of the growing season, this bottling balances structure with vibrant tension. It is approachable enough to enjoy in the near term while holding the foundational depth required for medium-term cellaring.
