FEATURES
🏰 The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was generally favorable, producing wines with good balance and expression. Emmanuel Rouget, known for his apostolic succession to Henri Jayer's winemaking philosophy, crafts Chorey-lès-Beaune that often transcends its village appellation. The 2017 Chorey-lès-Beaune is described as having a very gourmand nose with notes of Morello cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry, accompanied by hints of liquorice, dried herbs, and spices. The palate is pulpy and slender with a charming natural sweetness and very supple tannins, promising at least 10 years of aging potential. Community reviews mention pronounced aroma intensity with ripe strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, blueberry, dried fruit nuance, violet, rose, vanilla, cloves, nutmeg, hazelnut, mint, yellow plum, Japanese citrus, and wet leaves. 【 Henri Jayer's winemaking legacy 】.
🍴 This elegant red Burgundy is highly adaptable and pairs well with a variety of dishes. Consider cold cuts, hot main dishes, giblets, roast fowl, pizzas, or boiled beef. Its fluidity and fruity perfume also make it an ideal choice for Tex-Mex cuisine or as a 'summer red' with tabouleh or cold meats.
🥂 The Emmanuel Rouget Chorey-lès-Beaune 2017 is perfect for a casual yet refined dinner, a gathering with friends, or as an introduction to the quality of Rouget's wines. Its approachable nature and charming fruit make it suitable for immediate enjoyment, while its structure suggests it will also evolve gracefully.
