Domaine Rion

Domaine Rion

Together, this husband and wife team created the estate in 1990, at a time when Patrice was still in charge of his family’s domaine (Daniel Rion). He built his own winery in 2000 and created his negociant business, SARL Patrice Rion. Patrice’s reputation was launched in the early 1980s when he vastly increased the presence of his family domaine on the international market. Research and innovation, both in winemaking and farming—use of screwcaps, farming to increase leaf surface area—gave him a reputation as an innovator.

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru AOC Clos Saint-Marc Monopole

RED
● 100% Pinot Noir

The wine shows a full body, with incomparably silky tannins giving a rich meatiness. This is a wine with a strong personality. The balanced finish leaves the impression of opulence, and an unparalleled length is supported by minerality and a lovely complexity.

Vintage 2018

RED
● 100% Pinot Noir

To the eye: the wine is dark and purple. On the nose: Blackberries dominate the nose, along with blackcurrants and blueberries. There is a more savage side exhibited in the notes of juniper and hawthorn. Even if in youth the nose is discreet, its class is always evident.
