Description
Domaine Roux Pere & Fils was founded in 1885 with a mere 4 hectares in the village of Saint-Aubin in the heart of Burgundy, France. Under the leadership of the 3rd and 4th generation, Marcel Roux and his son Christian, the family’s proprietary vineyard holdings have expanded to include more than 70 hectares located throughout the Côte d’Or, most extensively in the sub-region of Côte de Beaune. Today, Domaine Roux is one of the top 10 largest landholders in the region, wholly owned and operated by the 4th and 5th generation. Its vines are planted exclusively on eastern and southern facing slopes, benefiting from premium exposures. Their vast holdings are comprised of varying soils. All grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and vinified in accordance with the appellation’s regulations.
With steadfast attention to detail, Domaine Roux combines valuable traditions with the most advanced technology to produce a vast portfolio of terroir-driven, with an accurate expression of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
St Aubin, in the hills behind Puligny-Montrachet, is the Roux family’s home village. With this white, they have brought out the softness as well as the richness of the village’s wines. A lemon flower aroma is followed by notes of citrus and white fruit, with a touch of spice. Varietal tipicity, floral, fruit ripeness and the traditional flint with mineral structure is the hallmark of these wines. Clean, fresh, vibrant and so contemporary in style.
