Viniou Reviews

Pierre Gaillard's Côte-Rôtie 2017 "Cuvée Rose Pourpre" is a captivating wine from France's Rhône Valley, specifically the northern section known for its steep, terraced vineyards. This elegant red, crafted primarily from Syrah, showcases the unique terroir of Côte-Rôtie, with its schist and granite soils, and benefits from meticulous vinification techniques. The 2017 vintage boasts ripe tannins and a complex bouquet of dark fruit, spices, and a hint of floral notes, reflecting the region's climatic nuances. The reputation of Pierre Gaillard's vineyard, renowned for its attention to detail and quality, enhances the allure of this wine.

For an outstanding culinary experience, pair this Côte-Rôtie with rich, hearty dishes. Roast lamb with herbs, braised beef, or duck confit will highlight the wine's depth and complexity. Traditional Rhône Valley dishes such as coq au vin would further enhance its spicy and fruity nuances. Also, aged cheeses like a creamy Bleu d'Auvergne would compliment the wine’s bold flavours beautifully.

To fully appreciate this Côte-Rôtie's elegance, serve it at around 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decanting is recommended for at least an hour to allow the wine to open up and reveal its layers of aromas and flavours. Begin your tasting by admiring its deep ruby hue, followed by inhaling its rich bouquet of aromas. Finally, take a sip to savour its balanced structure, smooth tannins, and lingering finish, which are the hallmarks of a well-crafted Côte-Rôtie.
