Description

A well-balanced and gourmet Premier Cru de Nuits-Saint-Georges

The estate

Patrice Rion founded the eponymous estate with his wife in 1990. A forerunner with a wealth of experience within his family’s estate, Patrice Rion advocates a viticulture that is solidly based on innovation and research. Their son Maxime joined the family estate in 2005. Over the years, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion has become known as an essential reference for fine Burgundy wines.

The vineyard

Located in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion reigns over a vineyard composed mainly of Pinot Noir grapes, which are the object of rigorous attention and manual work.

The estate also vinifies grapes from other winemakers to develop a varied range, magnifying the nuances and richness of these two iconic Burgundian appellations. These wines are renowned for their finesse, freshness and minerality.

The wine

The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru "Clos Saint-Marc" by Domaine Michèle and Patrice Rion comes from a 0.93-hectare vineyard, recognised as the smallest monopole in the village. Located in front of the estate, this terroir, whose vines are 60 years old on average, is planted on a layer of white and yellow marl.

Vinification and ageing

The hand-picked grapes are rigorously sorted before fermentation in open stainless steel vats for 3 weeks. The wine is aged in barrels (50% new) for 18 months.

The blend

This Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru "Clos Saint-Marc" 2019 by Domaine Michèle and Patrice Rion is a 100% Pinot Noir.
