Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos Des Argillières Patrice Rion (Domaine) 2005
The wine
Clos des Argillières is one of the estate’s largest and finest parcels, producing fine, full-bodied red wines. The Pinot Noir vines, averaging some fifty years, grow on brown soils mainly consisting of limestone. The grapes are harvested by hand and then sorted very meticulously. In the winery, the fruit ferment in open stainless steel vats for three weeks. The wine is then gently matured in oak casks, including 50% new wood, for around 18 months.
The dark purple colour reveals an intense nose of blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry aromas mingling with hints of juniper and hawthorn. The rich, elegant palate displays fine tannins complemented by a beautiful minerality leading to a concentrated and persistent finish. This premier cru promises excellent ageing potential.
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.
