Roux Pere & Fils Bourgogne Pinot Noir La Moutonniere 2022 (1x75cl)

The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir 'La Moutonnière' from Roux Père & Fils represents a quintessential entry into the esteemed wines of Burgundy. Hailing from a venerable estate with deep roots in the region, this cuvée is crafted to express the broader characteristics of the Côte d'Or's Pinot Noir.

The 'La Moutonnière' designation, while a regional appellation, often signifies a specific parcel selection or a blend meticulously chosen to reflect the house style. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is noted for its balance and ripeness, yielding wines with both immediate appeal and underlying structure. Roux Père & Fils employs traditional Burgundian winemaking, focusing on careful fruit selection and a judicious approach to vinification, often involving a period of maturation in oak to impart complexity without overshadowing the delicate fruit profile inherent to Pinot Noir from this terroir.

Tasting notes

The nose presents an inviting bouquet of fresh red berries—notably Morello cherry and wild raspberry—intertwined with subtle earthy undertones and a hint of delicate spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a vibrant acidity that provides freshness and lift. Fine-grained tannins offer a gentle structure, supporting a core of pure red fruit. The finish is clean and persistent, echoing the fruit and a touch of minerality, characteristic of a well-crafted Bourgogne Pinot Noir from a promising vintage.
