✨ Technical Specifications
Vougeot's Premier Cru 'Les Petits Vougeots' is a climat of exceptional pedigree, nestled directly beneath the historic Clos de Vougeot and bordering the delicate terroirs of Chambolle-Musigny. This unique positioning heavily influences its character, yielding a Pinot Noir that marries the structural depth of Vougeot with the ethereal, floral elegance of its Chambolle neighbor. The history of this land is deeply intertwined with the Cistercian monks of Cîteaux Abbey, who meticulously mapped and cultivated these slopes during the Middle Ages. Domaine Roux Père et Fils crafts this wine with a deep respect for this heritage, employing traditional fermentation and careful oak aging to highlight the vineyard's limestone-rich soils. The resulting wine is celebrated for its refined tannins, vibrant red berry aromatics, and subtle earthy undertones.
🍾 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.
