Such an unforgettable label<\/strong>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since 1885, the Domaine Roux<\/strong><\/a> promotes its own vision of Burgundy<\/strong>, from the charming village of Saint-Aubin<\/strong>, where their fruity vine<\/strong> plots are spread over 15 villages. This varied territory offers a wide range, while revealing as much as possible the purity of premium grapes<\/strong> and the unique character of a distinct terroir<\/strong><\/em>, depending on each specific location. For instance, this domain has been spreading from the C\u00f4te de Nuits<\/strong>, passing by the magnificent plots of Chambolle<\/strong> and Vougeot <\/strong>(photo credits: Domaine Roux).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As far as we know, this emblematic and historic estate of Saint-Aubin<\/strong> is also a major wine<\/strong> appellation in Burgundy<\/strong> and more precisely in C\u00f4te d’Or<\/strong>, but not only\u2026 With the help of a strong know-how transmitted from father to son since the 19th century, the Roux<\/strong> family has been paying many efforts, at least since the past thirty years, to promote this Saint-Aubin<\/strong> spirit. With the proud goal to display the reputation of those world-renowned wines<\/strong> throughout the World, where it can be found in more than 60 countries. By the way, many people are seduced by its accessible style<\/strong>, along rich aromas<\/strong> full of honey, easy to appreciate.<\/div>\n

Better late<\/strong> than never..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nowadays, the Maison Roux<\/strong>, once run by Marcel<\/strong>, was lately and successively joined by his three sons (Christian, R\u00e9gis and Emmanuel), in order to pursue the heritage of this domain<\/strong>, composed of multiple appellations<\/strong>. At the same time, the team can’t stop to develop their portfolio<\/em> of new appellations<\/strong>, such as Rully<\/strong> and Mercurey<\/strong> in C\u00f4te Chalonnaise<\/strong>, as well as in C\u00f4te de Beaune<\/strong> with Aloxe-Corton<\/strong>, Beaune<\/strong>, Ladoix<\/strong>. Without forgetting in C\u00f4te de Nuits<\/strong> starring the illustrious Gevrey-Chambertin<\/strong>, Vougeot<\/strong> and Chambolle-Musigny<\/strong> nectars<\/em>. Cherry on the cake, a new acquisition cycle has been operating those last years with the acquisition of renowned vineyards<\/strong>, notably in Meursault<\/strong>, Chassagne-Montrachet<\/strong> and again in Saint-Aubin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Adding to this, a very precise plot vinification<\/strong> has been operating since the early 2000s, within a reasoned, sustainable and ecological<\/strong> approach, in order to preserve as much as possible the origin and the expression of the fruit<\/strong>, and its terroir<\/em><\/strong>. This fair engagement became possible thanks to fewest possible inputs in the vineyard<\/strong> and in the cellar<\/strong>.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n

A very recognizable identity<\/strong>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among the long range of wines<\/strong> proposed by the Domaine Roux P\u00e8re & Fils<\/strong>, we invite you to have a further look into their amazing 2019 millesime<\/strong><\/em>, fully composed of Chardonnay<\/strong>, baptized Les Murelles<\/strong>. Supported by tasty grapes<\/strong> picked by hand, we find here a classic winemaking<\/strong>, along a smart use of modern technologies, especially concerning the temperature<\/strong> control during the fermentation<\/strong> process. <\/p>\n

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

A red Rully<\/strong> wine from 2020, is also proposed by the Domaine Roux<\/strong>, in a modern and unifying style offering a beautiful clairvoyant red color<\/strong>. This juice, made from pinot noir<\/strong><\/em>, develops various elegant aromas<\/strong> of fresh red fruits<\/strong> as well as light but perceptible floral<\/strong> notes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cherry on the cake, you would naturally appreciate its charming tannins<\/strong>, able to display a balanced structure. Get ready to sip a bouquet full of black fruits<\/strong>, such as blackcurrant<\/strong>, liquorice<\/strong>, blackberry<\/strong>, and even rose<\/strong> petals, still expressing in its gourmet<\/strong> mouth’s length, for a promising aging<\/strong> potential! A recommended pairing with grilled dishes<\/strong> and cheeses<\/strong>. <\/div>\n

This sparkling wine<\/strong> offers a new vision from cr\u00e9mants<\/strong><\/em>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In another hand, the Domaine Roux<\/strong> has as well recently unveiled a delicious cr\u00e9mant<\/strong><\/em>, grown as Blanc de Blancs<\/strong><\/em>. This sparkling wine<\/strong>, made according to Champagne<\/strong> traditional method, proposing a wide aromatic palette around white flowers<\/strong>, citrus<\/strong> but also dried fruits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Without forgetting subtle notes of brioche<\/strong><\/em>, and complemented by a beautiful minerality<\/strong>, thanks to its Extra Brut<\/strong> dosage and the various vineyards<\/strong> of chardonnay<\/strong><\/em>, manually harvested and fermented in stainless steel vats<\/strong> for the conception of this Burgundy<\/strong> wine<\/strong>. Thus, we could mention vines<\/strong> which are located on chalky<\/strong> basements around Joigny<\/strong> but also granite<\/strong> soils from southern Burgundy<\/strong>, passing through coasted limestones<\/strong> and marls<\/strong>.  <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Once in mouth, you would notice that this wine<\/strong> needs to be appreciated as a typical fresh Blanc de Blancs<\/strong><\/em> thanks to a recommended temperature<\/strong> between 10 and 12\u00b0C. As far as we know, this cr\u00e9mant<\/strong><\/em> can be enjoyed like any random champagne<\/strong> for aperitif<\/strong><\/em>, or eventually to be associated with a large plate of shellfish<\/strong>, scallops<\/strong>, cold fish dishes<\/strong> such as tartars<\/strong> but also fruity<\/strong> desserts. <\/div>\n
