Sort By:

Roux Père et Fils 2004 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Price $109

The pinnacle of the white wines from Roux Père et Fils, this is properly opulent, gorgeously rich, spicy and full of quince and lychee flavors, along with a discrete layer of new wood. Its complexity pays due respect to the quality of the vineyard. Keep for many years. — R.V. (12/1/2006)

points

Roux Père et Fils 2007 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

There is definite gravitas in this big wine. It has the proper power of a Corton-Charlemagne and is a rich and concentrated wine that shows big fruits, a fine cut of acidity and layered wood. A wine for the long term. — R.V. (7/1/2010)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $120

Appropriately big and burly, full of ripe fruit, rather soft as well as rich. With its yellow fruits, layers of white currants and a powerful wood element, this is a wine that is still knitting together. There is potential here, especially from the underlying acidity. Give it 4–5 years. — R.V. (5/1/2008)

points

Roux Père et Fils 2006 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

As befits the richest of the white grand crus of Burgundy, this wine is a big, bold expression of yellow fruits and full-on toast. These form a fine contrast with the freshest of acidity, the green edge and a delicious, juicy aftertaste. Give it 4–5 years. — R.V. (10/1/2008)

points

Roux Père et Fils 2008 Corton-Charlemagne Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $164

All structure and textured fruit, this is a wine for the long term. All the elements are there, although restrained by the vintage. The yellow fruits are more peach than apricot, while wood is still domiNAt. But it does have the power and should be aged for 4–5 years. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

points

Roux Père et Fils 2005 Les Petits Vougeot Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vougeot)

Cellar Selection

An intensely perfumed wine, tight with tannins and red stone fruits. There is some hardness initially, then the wine opens out to give juicy, ripe red plums, dry tannins, spice and sweet acidity. The finish is full and dry. Age for several years. — R.V. (12/31/2008)

points

Roux Père et Fils 2004 Les Macherelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Price $75

Big, intense and ripe, this wine has great flavors of ripe apples, almonds and honey from the malolactic fermentation. It is poised, elegant and powerful—a balance that is the best of many worlds. From the Roux domaine, it is finely crafted and likely to age for many years. — R.V. (12/1/2006)

points

Roux Père et Fils 2007 Les Macherelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Editors' Choice

A big-hearted wine, packed with forward fruits, maybe dominated by the wood at this stage, but likely to become more rich as it ages. The flavors are bold, white fruits combining with lime zest acidity. For aging over the next three years. — R.V. (7/1/2010)
