The 2020 Domaine Roux Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Jadis Blanc is a refined white Burgundy that showcases the elegance and mineral precision of Saint-Aubin’s premier cru vineyards. Crafted from Chardonnay grown on the limestone-rich slopes of the Côte de Beaune, this wine offers a compelling balance of fruit intensity, freshness and subtle complexity. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of white peach, lemon zest and ripe pear alongside hints of toasted almond, white flowers and gentle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a beautifully textured mouthfeel and vibrant acidity. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and green apple are supported by a fine mineral backbone, while carefully integrated oak contributes subtle notes of hazelnut and pastry. The wine remains focused and energetic throughout, finishing long and precise with lingering citrus and chalky mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay enthusiasts seeking a classic white Burgundy with both richness and finesse. Its freshness and complexity make it a natural partner for grilled lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken and creamy seafood dishes. Drinking beautifully now, it also has the structure to develop additional depth and nuance over the next 5–10 years.
