Domaine Roux - Saint-Aubin 1er Cru - Les Cortons 2018
Tasting notes
The Les Cortons vineyard derives its name from the prestigious Grand Cru vineyards of the nearby Corton-Charlemagne appellation. An elegant and rich wine boasting floral aromas complemented by subtle notes of toasted nuts, sweet honey, and baking spices that develop with age. This Premier Cru is produced from Estate-grown fruit fermented on the lees in French oak barrels and aged for more than a year.
