2022 Côte de Nuits Villages, Patrice & Maxime Rion, Burgundy

Two thirds comes from their normal grape purchases to which is added a plot of Aux Leureys, recovered as part of the Daniel Rion inheritance. A rich even purple. Lifted raspberry fruit, not too dark, then a bundle of dark red cherries on the palate. Just fills the mouth out a little more than the very fine Bons Batons. Good length, a Côte de Nuits-Villages of considerable charm. 

Drink 2026 - 2034
