✨ 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.
🍾 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.
