This Saint-Aubin Blanc from Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, specifically the 1999 Cuvée Roux, is a refined expression of Chardonnay. The sub-region of Saint-Aubin is famed for its mineral-rich limestone soils, which lend an elegant complexity and freshness to the wine. While the producer is not specified, the area’s reputation for quality suggests traditional vinification methods, possibly highlighting natural fermentation and careful aging to preserve the essence of the terroir. Burgundy's climate is marked by cool temperatures and well-defined seasons, leading to wines of great balance and subtlety. The region is steeped in history, with a longstanding commitment to excellence in winemaking.
For pairing, consider dishes that will complement the wine's nuanced structure and vibrant acidity. Rich seafood like scallops or lobster, served with a buttery sauce, can enhance the wine's creamy texture. Poultry dishes, such as roast chicken with herbs, also create a lovely match, while traditional Burgundy dishes like a mild Comté cheese bring out the wine's minerality and complexity.
To fully appreciate this vintage, serve the wine at a slightly chilled temperature of around 11°C to 13°C. Decanting for about 30 minutes can open up the wine's aromas, allowing the minerals and subtle fruitiness to shine. Begin by observing its hue, then indulge in the bouquet of aromas before tasting, focusing on the balance between acidity and oak notes to truly capture this Burgundian gem.
