Story
La Maison Romane
Nuits-Saint-Georges · Burgundy · France
In 2004, Oronce de Beler made a significant life change by leaving his marketing position at La Revue du Vin de France in Paris to follow his passion for winemaking in Burgundy. After completing wine training in Beaune and participating in several vinification internships, he eventually created the Maison Romane. His journey into winemaking officially began with the 2005 harvest, when he purchased his first grapes from Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac. At La Maison Romane, the winemaking philosophy is guided by minimal intervention.
“All wines are vinified using whole-bunch fermentations with the least amount of sulphur possible.”
The grapes are organically, biodynamically, or sustainably cultivated, emphasising soil health. His commitment to purity and precision in flavour is evident in his wines, which are known for their aromatic clarity and vitality. Beyond wine, Oronce de Beler is a renaissance man, diversifying his production to include beer, cider, bread, and ham, each crafted with the same attention to quality and authenticity that characterises his wines.
