✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from select old vines nestled within the prestigious Premier Cru climats of the Côte de Beaune, this red Burgundy showcases the profound depth and complexity that only mature root systems can extract from the region's classic limestone and clay soils. Domaine Roux Père et Fils utilizes their generations of expertise to honor these low-yielding 'Vieilles Vignes,' which naturally produce smaller, highly concentrated berries. The winemaking process respects traditional Burgundian methods, featuring hand-harvesting, meticulous sorting, and aging in French oak barrels. This careful stewardship results in a Pinot Noir of remarkable elegance, balancing bright red berry aromatics with earthy undertones, refined tannins, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish that speaks directly to its storied terroir.
🍾 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.
