Tucked away in the steep, picturesque valley of Saint-Aubin, just a stone's throw from the legendary slopes of Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet, lies the Premier Cru climat of 'Les Frionnes'. While Saint-Aubin is globally renowned for its white wines, its red Premier Crus are cherished by Burgundy insiders as some of the region's best-kept secrets. The 'Les Frionnes' vineyard, with its stony, clay-limestone soils and favorable south-southeast exposure, yields a Pinot Noir of remarkable purity and tension. Domaine Roux Père et Fils utilizes traditional Burgundian vinification and oak barrel aging to preserve the vibrant red fruit character and subtle earthy undertones of this historic terroir, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances rustic charm with refined elegance.
