On the tongue, this well-balanced red wine is characterized by an extraordinarily silky and meaty texture. The finish of this red wine from the Burgundy wine-growing region is ultimately captivating with a lovely length. Once again, hints of raspberry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay- and limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Bourgogne Rouge from Domaine Virely Rougeot

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Pinot Noir. Only first-class grapes were used for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Domaine Virely Rougeot. In Burgundy, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and limestone soils. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Bourgogne Rouge is aged for several months in oak barrels.
