Wine Description:
Nestled near the esteemed Château de Pommard, the Chavy-Chouet LA TAUPE Bourgogne Rouge AOC draws its essence from a two-hectare vineyard of Pinot Noir vines, planted in the 1950s at an impressive density of 10,000 vines per hectare. Meticulous hand-harvesting ensures only the ripest grapes reach the winery, where they are gently pressed and undergo spontaneous fermentation on the skins. Following this natural process, the wine matures for 10 months in traditional Burgundian barrels, or "Pièces," with 10% of these barrels being new oak. Pros:
- Elegant and refined flavor profile
Cons:
- Limited complexity compared to higher-tier Burgundy wines
Wine Expert Note:
Chavy-Chouet La Taupe Bourgogne Rouge is a delightful red wine from the Burgundy region of France. This wine showcases the classic characteristics of a Bourgogne Rouge, offering a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins. On the nose, you can expect aromas of ripe red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of earthiness and spice. The palate is elegant and well-structured, with a medium body and smooth, velvety tannins. The fruit flavors persist on the palate, complemented by a touch of oak that adds complexity and depth. This wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled, around 14-16°C (57-61°F), and pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. It can be a great companion to grilled meats, roasted poultry, or even mushroom-based dishes. Its versatility makes it a fantastic choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions.Taste Flavor
