✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Roux family in the heart of Burgundy, the Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a testament to the depth and character that only old vines can convey. Sourced from carefully selected parcels across the Côte d'Or and Côte Chalonnaise, these mature Pinot Noir vines dig their roots deep into the classic clay-limestone soils, absorbing rich mineral complexity. In the cellar, the Roux family employs traditional Burgundian techniques, including gentle pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation, and aging in French oak barrels. This meticulous process coaxes out a vibrant bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle forest floor notes, balanced by fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity that reflects the cool-climate elegance of the region.
