2022 Domaine Pierre Richard Cotes du Jura La Chouette Rouge

La Chouette Rouge is Jura in a glass—vivid, agile, quietly arresting.Old-vine Pinot Noir and Trousseau, farmed organically on limestone and marl, ferment with native yeasts, then rest in neutral oak for finesse.Dark cherry, wild strawberry, and a whisper of dried rose unfold over silken tannins, while cool alpine breezes leave a stony imprint.Each sip feels effortless yet layered, marrying forest-floor intrigue with bright, mouth-watering energy.Uncork this bottle when conversation lingers and you crave a red that refreshes as much as it comforts.

Nose:
Crushed red berries mingle with rose petal, pink peppercorn, and a faint hint of autumn leaves.

Palate:
Juicy raspberry and sour cherry glide over a feather-light frame, lifted by vibrant acidity and accented with subtle clove.

Finish:
Long and graceful, trailing mineral spice and a gentle kiss of cranberry zest.

Herb-roasted chicken with morel cream sauce—the wine’s acidity brightens the rich, earthy flavors.

Charcuterie board of saucisson sec, Comté, and cornichons—berry fruit cuts the fat, while Jura’s terroir echoes the cheese’s nuttiness.

Mushroom and thyme risotto—the silky texture and forest notes knit seamlessly with creamy rice and woodsy herbs.
