#viellesvignes #bourgognerouge Scored this bottle at a Houston restaurant at a decent retail price. Case labeling suggests Gevrey-Chambertin but the grapes are clearly classified only as Burgundy red - nevertheless a delicious Pinot Noir - cherry pie filling, raspberry preserves and baking spice, cinnamon aromas. Taste rolls into rich red fruit, some GC power and moderate tension rolling into robust tannins on a long finish. Pairing with moderately spicy Moroccan Tagine-style chicken thighs with Israeli couscous was as magnificent as you can imagine - cinnamon and baking spice throughout.
