Les Petits Lieux Saint-Romain La Combe Bazin 2024

A single-lieu-dit Saint-Romain white from Henri Jayer's old cellar — which is about as unlikely a sentence as Burgundy produces right now. Saint-Romain sits high and cool in a fold behind the Côte de Beaune, which is why its Chardonnay stays tense and stony while flashier villages down the slope get rich, and why it remains one of the last white Burgundy addresses that still feels reachable. La Combe Bazin is a named site within the appellation, bottled on its own rather than blended away into a village cuvée. The wine comes from Guillaume Rouget, great-nephew of Henri Jayer — the "Pope of Pinot Noir," famed for Richebourg and Cros Parantoux — who in 2023 bought his great-uncle's cuverie with the stated ambition of bringing exceptional wines back to life there, and who runs Les Petits Lieux with the oenologist Laure Guilloteau. 100% Chardonnay, and a domaine worth following from the beginning.

More about Les Petits Lieux

Les Petits Lieux is an exciting new project from Guillaume Rouget, great-nephew of the iconic Henri Jayer and winemaker at the legendary Domaine Emmanuel Rouget. The wines come from a small collection of carefully chosen sites across Burgundy and are produced in Jayer’s old cellar in Vosne-Romanée.

After Jayer’s passing in 2006, his house and cellar in Vosne sat quiet for nearly twenty years. In 2023, when the chance arose for family members to purchase the property, Guillaume and his partner Laure Guilloteau (formerly longtime enologist at Jean-Claude Boisset) stepped forward. Rather than rebuild or modernize, they chose to lovingly restore the space — breathing new life into the original cement and steel tanks, the old labeling machine, and even some of Jayer’s cellar tools.

Stylistically, the wines show a lighter touch than at Domaine Rouget, with less new oak, shorter élevage for the reds, and a bit longer time in barrel for the whites. They are bright, fresh, and vivacious while still feeling deeply rooted in classical Burgundian tradition.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with lemon and thyme, sole meunière, gougères, a bowl of moules marinière, grilled trout with brown butter, or a wedge of Comté.

Tasting Profile

Dry white with aromas of citrus, orchard fruit and a chalky, struck-stone edge. Medium-bodied and lean rather than creamy, with bright, firm acidity running straight through. Finishes crisp and saline.
