Description
The wine Derain Bourgogne Les Riaux, is an exquisite wine that has as its emblem a very pleasant fruit flavour and a very good structure. The grapes used to make this wine are Pinot Noir and come from a small vineyard called Les Riaux, located near the village of Saint-Aubin, south of the city of Beaune. This vineyard is relatively small, with less than one hectare in size.
Winemaking
The winemaking process begins with the harvesting of Pinot Noir grapes. During this process, most of the bunches of grapes are removed and only a few are left whole. This is done to increase the concentration of flavours and aromas in the wine.
Once the right grapes have been selected, the fruit is pressed to extract the juice. This juice is mixed with the grape skins in large wooden vats, where it undergoes a maceration process for about two weeks, giving the wine its characteristic colour, flavour and aroma.
Once the maceration process is complete, it is transferred to old oak barrels where it is left to mature for six months. The oak gives the wine notes of wood flavour and aroma, and also contributes to its structure and smoothness. Maturation in oak barrels is an important process that gives the wine its style and personality.
Taste
When tasting Derain Bourgogne Les Riaux, you will perceive a deep and complex, natural, calm, fine and elegant taste. It is also medium-bodied, which means that it is neither too light nor too heavy in the mouth.
The tannins are present in a moderate amount and have a smooth and refined texture, which gives the wine a pleasant mouthfeel. Finally, this wine is fresh and delicious, which makes it very pleasant to drink.
The choice of Burgundy
In this case, this red wine is suggested to be served with Iberian pork sausages and blue fish. In addition, it is recommended for use on special informal occasions such as a dinner with friends.
It is recommended to accompany blue fish, as they have a dark and fatty meat, such as tuna or salmon, as this type of fish usually have a strong flavour and a firmer texture, so they are considered ideal to enjoy with this medium-bodied wine with an intense flavour.
