✨ 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.
🍾 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.
