✨ 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.
🍾 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.
