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, varietally accurate expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir renowned for superior quality.
This elegant Chassagne-Montrachet has layered aromas of lemon curd, acacia and honeysuckle, with verbena, hazelnut and toast. It has a profound flinty minerality, with a persistent finish. Rich yet perfectly balanced, an excellent example of this unique and special terroir.

Nectarines, spiced pears, dried lemons, flint and salted caramel on the nose. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity. Buttery, intense layers of stone fruit and minerals. Excellent concentration. Very lemony. Very tight at the finish. Drinkable now, but better in 2023.
