Domaine Roux Père & Fils
Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes
1er Cru 2015 Pinot Noir

The Roux family is one of the two most significant owners in Saint-Aubin. Compared to the likes of Volnay or Santenay, this wine represents considerable value, especially for a 2015. Excellent harmony among the fresh berry, baking spice and savoury tones. The fine tannins offer good grip and help knit the whole package up quite nicely.

This wine is tight, textured and still young. With crisp, mineral acidity and bright citrus and white stone fruits, it needs to age to show its full, rich potential. Drink from 2018.

Score: 89. Reviewed by Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, June 1, 2017
