Nestled in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the Premier Cru white wines of Domaine Roux Père et Fils represent the pinnacle of Saint-Aubin's modern renaissance. Historically overshadowed by its famous neighbors, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin has emerged as a haven for terroir-driven Chardonnay. The Roux family, with their deep roots in the village since 1885, has been instrumental in championing these steep, stony clay-limestone slopes. Their Premier Cru white wines are crafted using traditional Burgundian methods, including fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. This process coaxes out a beautiful tension between vibrant citrus acidity, white floral aromas, and a rich, hazelnut-tinged minerality, reflecting the unique microclimates of their historic plots.
