About this Item
Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion is a wine producer and négociant based in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. It specializes in the production of red wines made from Pinot Noir, but also makes a pair of white wines.
Today, the estate farms a total of 6 hectares of vineyards located primarily in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny. Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion owns eight monopoles from which it produces the majority of its premier cru wines, the most significant being the Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos Saint-Marc monopole. The estate also purchases grapes from neighboring Burgundian winegrowers.
Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion cultivates these vines using only organic agricultural practices. It was one of the first wine producers in Burgundy to grow their vines much higher than average to optimize ripening.

Critics Ratings
‘Interestingly, this is not quite as elegant as the Les Cras but it’s more aromatically complex with very fresh crushed red berry fruit that complement rich, full, sweet and direct flavors that are also admirably well-detailed and fresh on the classy and refined finish. Also terrific.’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-92/100 (Jan 2007)
CellarTracker.com – 93/100
