Domaine Roux 2022 Rully Rouge Thalius

The 2022 vintage in Burgundy enjoyed warm, dry conditions, which brought healthy, fully ripened fruit and generous yields. In Rully, the warmth was balanced by cooler nights, preserving acidity and aromatic brightness in Pinot Noir. The result was wines with ripe, pure fruit expression, supple tannins, and an approachable style, while still retaining enough structure for short- to mid-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestions:
Shows vibrant aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and cranberry, layered with subtle violet and earthy spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, with flavors of red cherry, pomegranate, and sous bois, supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. Gentle oak influence adds hints of clove and vanilla, leading to a smooth, fruit-driven finish with a touch of minerality.
Serve slightly cool at 15–16°C (59–61°F) in Burgundy-style Pinot Noir glasses to highlight its floral and red-fruited character. Decant for 30 minutes to open the aromatics. Best paired with herb-roasted chicken, pork tenderloin with cranberry glaze, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon. This wine is enjoyable now for its freshness but can be cellared for 4–6 years to develop more earthy and savory complexity.
