Viniou Reviews
The Vougeot 1997 "Cuvée Roux" from Château R is a fine expression of Burgundy's distinctive character. Produced in the renowned Côte de Nuits region, this red wine likely features the hallmark nuances of Pinot Noir, the king grape here. The 1997 vintage, known for its early warmth and smaller yields, offers wines with concentrated flavours. This area’s terroir, rich in limestone and clay, gives the wine a unique minerality and complexity. The Côte de Nuits is celebrated for its prestigious climats, contributing to the sophisticated structure of the Vougeot wines. Château R's history, steeped in tradition, reinforces the meticulous craftsmanship that Burgundy exemplifies.
For pairing, consider rich dishes such as duck breast or beef bourguignon, which complement the wine's delicate structure and earthy tones. Regional dishes like coq au vin also harmonize beautifully, as the local flavours enhance the wine’s inherent qualities. Mushroom risotto could highlight its earthy notes, adding a creamy texture to the pairing.
For optimal enjoyment, serve this Vougeot at 15-16°C. Decanting for about 30-45 minutes might soften any remaining tannins, allowing the bouquet to open fully. Begin your tasting by admiring the wine's colour, a garnet hue typical for aged Pinot Noir. On the nose, anticipate aromas of red berries mingling with earthy and spicy notes. Finally, savour the taste, noting the wine's harmony and finesse, characteristic of a well-aged Burgundy.
