Tasting notes
Sitting on southern facing slopes with altitudes between 220 and 325 meters, the vines that make the ‘Les Morichots’ are planted in soils ranging from pebbly limestones, marl, and even some sandy soils with a Jurassic basis. Aromas of mayflower, acacia, and honeysuckle blend with hazelnut and a profound minerality. The fruit and acid notes arrive instantaneously with a long and pronounced finish. Preferable with poultry and veal dishes, but also pairs well with salmon.
Estate
Founded in 1885, Domaine Roux is currently operated by the 4th and 5th generation of the Roux family. With vineyard holdings throughout the Côte d'Or, the Domaine is situated in the Saint Aubin village of the Côte de Beaune. This historic property maintains one of the most incredible libraries of older vintages. No one in Burgundy has such an impressive collection of verticals from such a diverse array of villages, single vineyards and Premier Cru wines.
