The Domaine Roux Père & Fils winery is located in the inconspicuous village of Saint Aubin near Chassagne-Montrachet. The impressive winery was founded in 1885 and is now one of the ten most renowned wineries on the Côte d'Or. Today, after five generations of winemakers, the winery of the family Roux produces the highest quality wines in an imposing variety and quality on more than 70 hectares of vineyards. Be this Saint Aubin, Chassagne Montrachet, Meursault, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, Corton Grand Cru etc.- everything that is represented- carefully grown and managed on the best terroirs of the Burgundy region . We at “Les Cavistes” were back at the Roux family in early June 2024 to taste the fantastic red wines. Matthieux Roux, part of the dynasty, came personally to lead the tasting for Oliver, me and our team. The tasting came about due to us meeting the Roux family at the "Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne". Somehow Oliver and I were sympathetic to the family and this resulted in this exciting connection. We ordered not only noble red wines from a wide variety of layers, but also a few wonderful white. The visit has more than worth it for all sides - especially for you as wine lovers and fans of the noble drops. Because of its relatively large size with over 70 hectares, the Roux family was "kind" in terms starting a collaboration with us. If we had not received handsome quantities in perfect quality, Oliver and I could probably not have expanded “Les Cavistes”. Sometimes it takes a bit of luck in addition to diligence and sympathy.
