Clos-de-la-roche from the renowned Côte de Nuits region in Burgundy is a highly esteemed red wine. Made from the Pinot Noir grape, this 1997 Cuvée Roux reflects the exceptional terroir of its appellation, characterized by limestone-rich soils and a temperate climate ideal for this varietal. The wine showcases the elegance and complexity typical of this region, with a balance of fruit-forward flavours and earthy undertones. While the 'R' estate may have a less familiar name, it undoubtedly shares the legacy of producing outstanding wines that Burgundy is renowned for, capturing both historical winemaking techniques and regional nuances.
For food pairings, Clos-de-la-roche pairs sublimely with dishes that highlight its depth and subtlety. Consider a classic coq au vin or duck à l'orange, which will enhance the wine’s savoury notes. For those leaning towards a vegetarian option, a mushroom risotto with herbes de Provence will complement the wine's earthy qualities. Regional cheese like Époisses de Bourgogne also makes for an excellent pairing, providing a creamy contrast to the wine’s structured tannins and acidity.
Proper tasting begins with serving the wine at an ideal temperature of around 16-18°C. Decanting is recommended, allowing the wine to breathe for at least 1-2 hours before consumption, which will help unfold its intricate bouquet. When tasting, observe the wine's deep ruby hue, followed by inhaling its aromas of red berries, forest floor, and spice. On the palate, notice the silky texture and complex flavours that evolve with each sip. Conclude by savouring the lingering finish that is characteristic of well-aged Burgundy wines.
