Viniou Reviews
The Échézeaux 1997 from Bourgogne, specifically the Côte de Nuits, is a remarkable representation of its terroir. Known for producing some of the world's finest Pinot Noir, this sub-region benefits from a cool, continental climate and limestone-rich soils that lend finesse and complexity to the wine. The Cuvée Fluchot from Castle R is a testament to traditional winemaking, with minimal intervention allowing the natural characteristics of the vintage to shine through. 1997 was a favourable year in Bourgogne, yielding wines with rich fruit profiles and balanced acidity. Castle R, though not detailed here, likely has a storied history of crafting wines that capture the essence of its prestigious appellation.
For food pairings, consider serving this wine with dishes that enhance its elegance and depth. Classic pairings include duck breast with cherry sauce, beef bourguignon, or a simple roasted chicken with herbs. Regional dishes, such as coq au vin or escargots de Bourgogne, provide an authentic touch that harmonizes beautifully with Échézeaux's nuanced flavours.
To best appreciate this wine, serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decanting for about an hour can help unveil its aromatic bouquet, featuring notes of dark berries, earth, and subtle spice. Begin by observing its deep ruby color and clarity. Follow with a gentle swirl to release the aromas, taking a moment to inhale deeply, noting the complexity. Finally, savour a sip, allowing the wine to roll across your palate, revealing its structured tannins and long, elegant finish.
