Just be tempted by the Burgundy wines treasures issued from the Domaine Roux

As far as we know, this emblematic and historic estate of Saint-Aubin is also a major wine appellation in Burgundy and more precisely in Côte d’Or, but not only… With the help of a strong know-how transmitted from father to son since the 19th century, the Roux family has been paying many efforts, at least since the past thirty years, to promote this Saint-Aubin spirit. With the proud goal to display the reputation of those world-renowned wines throughout the World, where it can be found in more than 60 countries. By the way, many people are seduced by its accessible style, along rich aromas full of honey, easy to appreciate.

Nowadays, the Maison Roux, once run by Marcel, was lately and successively joined by his three sons (Christian, Régis and Emmanuel), in order to pursue the heritage of this domain, composed of multiple appellations. At the same time, the team can’t stop to develop their portfolio of new appellations, such as Rully and Mercurey in Côte Chalonnaise, as well as in Côte de Beaune with Aloxe-Corton, Beaune, Ladoix. Without forgetting in Côte de Nuits starring the illustrious Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot and Chambolle-Musigny nectars. Cherry on the cake, a new acquisition cycle has been operating those last years with the acquisition of renowned vineyards, notably in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet and again in Saint-Aubin.

Adding to this, a very precise plot vinification has been operating since the early 2000s, within a reasoned, sustainable and ecological approach, in order to preserve as much as possible the origin and the expression of the fruit, and its terroir. This fair engagement became possible thanks to fewest possible inputs in the vineyard and in the cellar.

Among the long range of wines proposed by the Domaine Roux Père & Fils, we invite you to have a further look into their amazing 2019 millesime, fully composed of Chardonnay, baptized Les Murelles. Supported by tasty grapes picked by hand, we find here a classic winemaking, along a smart use of modern technologies, especially concerning the temperature control during the fermentation process. 

About this great wine, aged in oak barrels for a year before bottling, the result is a bright yellow robe with some green undertones. Once in mouth, don’t miss its balanced concentration of explicit aromas of yellow fruits (including apple, pears but also citrus fruits), able to bewitch your palate with mineral fresh notes, before an unmissable length on the finish. At last, we recommend to keep this juice in your cellar between 3 and 5 years, and eventually appreciate it with some seafood, various fish dishes or fine cheese.
