✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Roux family, 'La Moutonnière' is a refined expression of regional Burgundy Pinot Noir. The name evokes the pastoral heritage of the Côte d'Or, where ancient sheep pastures ('moutonnières') were gradually converted into prized vineyards over the centuries. Sourced from carefully selected plots, this wine is vinified using traditional Burgundian methods, including fermentation in temperature-controlled vats and aging in French oak barrels. The result is a classic, terroir-driven red that balances bright red fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry with subtle earthy undertones and soft, approachable tannins, reflecting the family's multi-generational dedication to showcasing the purity of Pinot Noir.
