Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses Patrice Rion (Domaine) 2013
The wine
At Patrice Rion, harvesting is performed by hand. The Pinot Noir grapes from this premier cru, produced from forty-year-old vines, are rigorously sorted before a three-week fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine is then matured for 18 months in casks. Its ruby appearance has an attractive sparkle. Its aromas take time to unfold. But once open, its bouquet exudes notes of violet and spices. Dense, racy and powerful, this Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is incredibly long in the mouth. Its velvety finesse suits it for pairings with delicate dishes, such as filet mignon or lamb shank.
About the Producer Michèle et Patrice Rion
Domaine de Michèle and Patrice Rion extend over 6 hectares in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny. The domaine is not certified but applies the precepts of organic farming (ploughing with a pickaxe, organic products). The wines are stored from 15 to 18 months in barrels (50% new for premier and grand crus). They reflect well their terroir and are clear, precise, complex and fruity. On the palate, the wines are silky and harmonious, with round tannins.
