Domaine Daniel Rion is a 45-acre estate based in Premeaux. It was started in 1955 when Daniel Rion inherited 5 acres and began growing grapes to sell to negociants. Starting in 1978 Rion’s sons joined the family business and the Domaine added vineyards, built a larger cellar and started selling wine under their own label. Today the estate is still family run and has parcels in 18 appellations. The estate has a Grand Cru parcel in Clos Vougeot as well as Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanee and Nuits-Saints-Georges.
This 1er Cru Chaumes has notes of ripe red and black fruits, spice, and floral tones. It is known for its elegant structure, supple yet solid character, and mineral notes that develop with age.
Tasting note: On the nose aromas of peony, leather, red and black summer berries, spice and violets. The palate follows with ripe summer berries, spicy notes, and floral undertones. Velvety and long finish with notes of blackcurrant and bramble.
Food match: Guinea fowl or a classic duck a l'orange.
