The red is ruby through cerise to dark garnet. Its bouquet is composed of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) and red fruit (cherry) plus liquorice, lilac, and rose petals, evolving towards cooked fruit. On the palate, the tannins respect the fruit and give the wine a well-defined structure.

Domaine Roux Pere et Fils is a family-run business based in the hills of St-Aubin, at the southern end of the Cote d’Or. The family’s winemaking heritage stretches back to 1855 and they now own over 70 hectares of vineyards across the region – from Bourgogne up to Grand Cru – making it one of the largest independent domaines in Burgundy.

The current team in charge of production consists of brothers Mathieu, who makes the wine, and Sebastien (listen to our podcast with Sebastian here), who manages the business. Their passion and energy has been the driving force behind a notable rise in quality. Burgundy lovers take note: this is definitely a domaine to watch.

Perfect on its own or with poultry dishes in cream sauce.
