✨ Technical Specifications
The cuvée "Jadis," translating to "of yesteryear" or "formerly" in French, is a masterful nod to the historical winemaking traditions of Burgundy. Crafted by the historic family estate of Roux Père et Fils, this wine is typically produced from Bourgogne Aligoté, showcasing a grape variety that was historically revered alongside Chardonnay. Rather than the modern, high-acid, stainless-steel style often associated with Aligoté, the "Jadis" cuvée is fermented and aged in oak barrels, reviving the ancient Burgundian practice. This traditional approach coaxes out a rich, textured profile with subtle spice, toasted notes, and a beautifully rounded mouthfeel, while preserving the grape's signature vibrant acidity. It represents a bridge to the past, honoring the terroir of Burgundy's lesser-known historical treasures with meticulous craftsmanship.
