La Maison Romane

In 2004 , Oronce de Beler , driven by his passion for Burgundy Pinot Noir , decided to leave Paris to settle in Vosne-Romanée. He then embarked on a whole series of experiences in the world of wine, including viticultural training in Beaune, winemaking internships in family estates, and even the creation of a horse-drawn ploughing business in this Burgundy region of the Côte d'Or . And it is following all these meetings, enriching exchanges, and numerous tastings that La Maison Romane emerged. During the 2005 harvest, Oronce de Beler bought his first grapes, marking the beginning of his winemaking adventure. From the start, he adopted a consistent winemaking approach: minimalist and natural, with intervention and use of sulfur reduced to the bare minimum. His objective is to preserve the purity of the fruit and the authentic expression of the terroirs. He systematically opts for whole bunch vinification. In 2017 , La Maison Romane moved to Nuits-Saint-Georges, providing a winemaking space in a more spacious vaulted cellar, thus allowing for further development of the estate. Obviously, the starting point of this entire process is the grape, and this is why Oronce cultivates close relationships with talented winemakers, whose practices are oriented towards organic farming, biodynamics , or viticultural methods that respect the soils and their ecosystem. The harvest is done manually, with careful selection of each bunch, both in the vineyards and on the sorting table, guaranteeing the purity of the wine. La Maison Romane prioritizes the very high quality of the grapes. In the winery, interventions are reduced to the bare minimum, with punching down limited to the final phase of vinification, and minimal, or even absent, use of sulfur. The wines are aged for 12 months in old oak barrels . Since its inception, the house has maintained a philosophy of no fining and no filtration, and each bottle is bottled manually, with a wax seal bringing a touch of authenticity to all their vintages. This commitment to purity, respect for the terroir, and simplicity in winemaking characterizes the meticulous work of Oronce de Beler at Maison Romane.
