1996 | Daniel Rion | Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts

Beautifully displayed blackberry, kirsch, spice and mineral character, all very elegant and firmly yet delicately structured.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This wine has beguiling aromas of raspberries, cherries, violets, and Asian spices. It is an extremely well-proportioned, seductive, concentrated, medium-to-full-bodied, and velvety-textured beauty. Sweet red cherries and currants can be found in its delicious flavor profile as well as in its long finish.

• James Suckling: One sniff and you know it's great. Beautifully displayed blackberry, kirsch, spice and mineral character, all very elegant and firmly yet delicately structured. Great length and refinement.

Producer Information

Domaine Daniel Rion et Fils is a Burgundian wine estate based in the Côte de Nuits. It has a wide array of vineyard holdings, including land in Vougeot, Flagey-Echézeaux, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, and Chambolle-Musigny. In 1955, Daniel Rion inherited 2 hectares (5 acres) of his father's vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. For the next 40 years, he gradually expanded this initial hectarage and today the domaine consists of 20ha (50 acres) of cultivated vineyards. When Daniel Rion retired in 1995, he passed the responsibilities of the family business to his four children: Patrice, Christophe, Olivier and Pascale. Winemaker Patrice left to set up his own estate, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion, in 2000 and since this time Domaine Daniel Rion et Fils has been overseen by the remaining Rion siblings. The majority of the Domaine Daniel Rion et Fils wine portfolio consists of red wines based on Pinot Noir, with a small selection of Chardonnay-based white wines. Vinification of the red wines starts with complete destemming, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in Allier oak barrels, with the percentage of new oak varying depending on the vintage and level.
