The roots of Domaine Roux date back to 1885, when the first four hectares were cultivated in Saint-Aubin. Today, the family estate covers around 70 hectares in over 13 villages in the Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits and Côte Chalonnaise. Diverse locations, chalky soils and generations of expertise create the basis for wines with distinctive character and elegant finesse.
Lively ruby red with hints of dark cherry and undergrowth. A touch of melted wood accompanies the aromas, along with liquorice and subtle spice. The tannins are supple, the structure elegant – a Pinot that offers balance and endurance.
The grapes are harvested by hand. The must first matures for two to six months in French oak barrels before the wine is aged for a further 13 months in barriques – 30% in new barrels and 70% in used barrels.
The Pinot Noir vines for this reserve grow in the thermal region on the Badnerberg on loamy sandy soil – a terroir that combines elegance with power and gives the wine its distinctive character.
