Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Terres Blanches Patrice Rion (Domaine) 2009

The wine

Domaine Rion's "Les Terres Blanches" premier cru is a clear white wine with a pale gold colour, and a floral, ethereal nose. The wine has notes of ripe citrus, but retains a remarkable freshness and minerality. Over the years, hints of white peach and elderflower appear.

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.
