Viniou Reviews
Wine Review
This 1988 Gevrey-Chambertin from the prestigious Côte de Nuits region in Burgundy is a remarkable example of French winemaking. Known for its exceptional Pinot Noir, Gevrey-Chambertin offers wines with rich, complex flavours and a certain elegance. This particular Cuvée Roux embodies the typical characteristics of its terroir, benefiting from the cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils that impart minerality and structure. Despite the lack of explicit classification or organic certification, the wine’s age suggests careful, traditional vinification methods. The Domaine, referred to simply as 'R', contributes to the area's rich viticultural history, renowned for producing robust, structured wines with potential for ageing.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This wine pairs perfectly with dishes that enhance its earthy and red fruit notes. Consider a classic pairing with coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon, both hailing from the Burgundy region itself. The wine's depth complements the rich, savoury sauces and tender meat. Additionally, roasted duck or a mushroom risotto would provide a delightful harmony, accentuating the wine's nuanced aromas and flavours.
Tasting Advice
For optimal enjoyment, serve this Gevrey-Chambertin at a temperature of around 16-18°C. Allow the wine to breathe for 30 to 60 minutes in a decanter to fully appreciate its developed aromas. Begin tasting by observing the wine's garnet hue, indicative of its age and complexity. On the nose, expect layers of red berries and earthy undertones. Finally, savour the palate, noting its balance between fruit and acidity, with a long, memorable finish.
