✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine Roux Père & Fils crafts this vibrant white wine from the traditional Aligoté grape grown in the 'Les Agnières' lieu-dit. Historically, Aligoté has played a historic role in Burgundy, prized by local winemakers for its high acidity and refreshing character. The terroir of Les Agnières features classic clay-limestone soils that impart a signature stony minerality and bright citrus profile to the wine. To preserve its crisp, energetic tension and pure fruit expression, the estate utilizes temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation, avoiding heavy oak influence to let the natural vivacity of the grape and the unique Burgundian soil shine through.
