Domaine Roux Père & Fils "Les Cotilles" Pinot Noir 2025

The Roux family's easy-going Pinot Noir: Burgundy know-how, no village-name markup, and a price that lets you open it on a weeknight.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from the Roux estate in Saint-Aubin, Côte de Beaune. Labelling for this cuvée varies by retailer (Vin de France or Bourgogne depending on the vintage), so check the bottle if appellation matters to you.

Taste Profile: Ripe red fruit up front, with plum and cherry and a bit of earth underneath, based on notes for earlier vintages of Les Cotilles. Soft, fruity and light on tannin, it's the Pinot for anyone still working out whether they like Burgundy. Pour it with charcuterie, roast chicken or mushroom anything.

Winemaker: Brothers Sébastien and Matthieu Roux run this Saint-Aubin family estate, covering roughly 70 hectares and 100+ cuvées between Mercurey and the southern Côte de Beaune, with about 65% exported.
