Aromatic bouquet of wild strawberries, crushed violets, and subtle forest floor notes. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant red cherry flavours enhanced by earthy minerality. Elegant finish featuring raspberry compote, dried herbs, and distinctive Clos Rousseau terroir

The 2015 Domaine Roux Santenay 1er Cru undergoes meticulous hand-harvesting with strict selection of only the finest Pinot Noir clusters. Fermentation occurs in traditional open-top wooden vats with gentle pigeage to extract colour and flavour while preserving the wine’s delicate aromatics. Aging takes place in 30% new French oak barrels for 14 months, allowing the wine to develop complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The result is a beautifully balanced Burgundy that showcases both the vintage character and the unique minerality of Clos Rousseau.

Domaine Roux has been crafting exceptional Burgundy wines for over five generations, with the family’s roots in Santenay dating back to 1885. Current winemaker Philippe Roux combines traditional Burgundian techniques with modern precision, focusing on minimal intervention to showcase the pure expression of each climat. The domaine’s philosophy centers on respecting the land and allowing the Clos Rousseau terroir to speak through every bottle, resulting in wines that perfectly balance power and elegance.

Pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast with cherry reduction.
