✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic clay-limestone soils of Burgundy, 'Les Murelles' is a classic expression of regional Chardonnay crafted by the venerable Roux family. Sourced from carefully selected parcels, this wine captures the essence of Burgundy's terroir-driven winemaking tradition. The Roux family, established in Saint-Aubin since 1885, applies the same meticulous attention to their regional wines as they do to their prestigious Premier and Grand Crus. 'Les Murelles' undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in a combination of stainless steel vats and French oak barrels. This harmonious process preserves the vibrant, crisp green apple and citrus core of the Chardonnay grape while imparting a delicate roundness, subtle notes of white flowers, and a touch of toasted hazelnut on the finish.
