✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine Roux Père et Fils crafts their Premier Cru red wines from meticulously selected parcels across Burgundy's legendary Côte d'Or. Representing the pinnacle of the estate's red winemaking, these Premier Cru bottlings are sourced from prestigious climats where limestone-dominant soils and optimal sun exposures coax the finest expressions of Pinot Noir. Steeped in Burgundian tradition dating back to 1885, the Roux family employs sustainable viticulture and classic vinification methods, including gentle extraction and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wines are celebrated for their elegant structure, vibrant red fruit aromatics, and a profound sense of place, reflecting the unique microclimates of their historic plots.
🍾 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.
