Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion 1982
The wine
Clos de Vougeot are truly mythic wines, dark red colour, well-balanced, racy and elegant. They are remarkable for their intense and extraordinary aromatic bouquet, with concentrated aromas of red and dark fruits (cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant), forest floor and violets and, once matured, of fur (hare belly and musk). These wines, ample, fleshy, sinewy and lingering on the palate, are balanced with fine and mellow tannins and a discrete acidity. They have a long finish.
About the Producer Armelle et Bernard Rion
In 1880 Pierre Rion, former sharecropper at the Château de la Berchère at Nuits-Saint-Georges, purchased vines from Vosne-Romanée and founded the Domaine Rion. His son Louis took over and significantly expanded the domain. In 1952 the domain was divided up between his two sons. His eldest son, Marcel Rion, extended his domain and remained at Vosne-Romanée. Bernard Rion has worked with his father since 1973 and directs the domain with his wife Armelle.
