✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the prestigious Meursault appellation in the Côte de Beaune, the Premier Cru 'Poruzots' (often designated as Clos des Poruzots) is situated on a stony, east-facing mid-slope rich in active limestone and clay. This exceptional climat has been celebrated since the medieval era when Cistercian monks meticulously mapped the terroirs of Burgundy, recognizing the unique ability of this plot to yield whites of immense power and longevity. Domaine Roux Père et Fils coaxes the absolute best from these old vines, employing traditional barrel fermentation and lees stirring (bâtonnage) in French oak. The resulting wine is a masterclass in tension, balancing Meursault's signature hazelnut, stone fruit, and toasted brioche richness with a piercing, flinty minerality.
🍾 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.
