✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1885 by Louis Fernand Roux in the Côte de Beaune village of Saint-Aubin, Domaine Roux Père et Fils has developed over five generations into one of Burgundy's most extensive family-owned estates. Under the stewardship of brothers Mathieu and Sébastien Roux, the domaine manages more than 70 hectares of proprietary vineyards spanning over 120 lieux-dits across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise. The viticultural foundation relies on sustainable farming (lutte raisonnée) across predominantly south- and southeast-facing limestone and marl slopes. In the cellar, parcel-by-parcel vinification highlights site precision, balancing classical French oak maturation with contemporary aging in stainless steel and terracotta amphorae to preserve pure fruit vibrancy and minerality. Signature benchmark labels include the mineral-rich Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Cortons, Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, and structured regional benchmarks such as Les Murelles and Côte de Nuits Village Pinot Noirs.
