Viniou Reviews
The Mercurey Cuvée Roux 1998 is a notable red wine from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically from La Côte Chalonnaise. Known for its Pinot Noir grapes, this wine offers a remarkable expression of its vintage and terroir. The 1998 vintage is distinguished by its complex aromas of red fruits, earthiness, and subtle spicy notes. La Côte Chalonnaise benefits from a continental climate, characterised by warm summers and cold winters, which, along with the calcareous clay soils, contribute to the wine's elegance and depth. The R Castle, with its rich history and commitment to traditional winemaking techniques, enhances the wine’s refined style and structure.
When considering food pairings, the Mercurey Cuvée Roux 1998 is beautifully complemented by dishes such as coq au vin, duck breast with cherry sauce, or a classic boeuf bourguignon. These options will enhance the earthy and fruit-forward notes of the wine. For a regional touch, try pairing it with Époisses de Bourgogne, a local cheese renowned for its strong flavour, which harmonises perfectly with the wine's robust profile.
For the best tasting experience, serve this wine at a temperature of around 16-18°C (60-64°F). It benefits from about 30 minutes of decanting to allow the aromas to fully open up. Begin your tasting by observing the wine's colour in the glass, then gently swirl to release its bouquet. Inhale deeply to appreciate its complex aroma before taking a sip to enjoy its full-bodied texture and lengthy finish.
