Viniou Reviews
Description and Region
This 1997 Gevrey-Chambertin "Cuvée Roux" hails from the esteemed La Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, France, known for its exceptional Pinot Noir. The region's unique terroir of limestone-rich soils, combined with the cool, continental climate, provides the ideal conditions for producing wines with depth and complexity. Although the specific winemaking techniques for this cuvée are not listed, the tradition in Gevrey-Chambertin often includes meticulous grape selection and ageing in oak barrels, which help develop the wine's structure and nuanced flavours. Château "R", while not heavily detailed here, would likely be a respected local producer contributing to Burgundy's renowned reputation for quality.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This Gevrey-Chambertin would wonderfully complement dishes that highlight its vibrant red fruit and earthy undertones. Consider pairing it with roasted duck breast or beef bourguignon, allowing the wine's acidity and tannins to cut through the richness. For a truly regional experience, try it with coq au vin, a classic Burgundy dish that harmonises beautifully with the wine's elegance and flavour profile. Alternatively, a simple mushroom risotto can play up the wine's earthy characteristics.
Tasting Advice
For an optimal tasting experience, serve this wine at around 16-18°C (60-64°F). Allow it to breathe in a decanter for about 30 minutes to one hour, releasing its full bouquet and complexity. Begin by observing its garnet hue, which shows age-related depth. On the nose, you'll detect aromas of ripe red berries, earthiness, and perhaps a hint of spice from oak ageing. As you taste, savour the balance between fruitiness and earthiness, noting the silky tannins and long finish that make this vintage so memorable.
