WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion Vieilles Vignes Les Échezeaux Chambolle-Musigny is a highly expressive wine sourced from old-vine Pinot Noir. This wine hails from the prestigious Chambolle-Musigny appellation in Burgundy, known as the 'Queen of Burgundy' due to the delicate, floral style the village creates. The grapes are hand-harvested before being completely de-stemmed. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks and is then aged in a combination of old and new oak barrels.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This wine is an excellent old-vine expression of Chambolle-Musigny from Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion, displaying a pale ruby color in the glass typical of a thin-skinned variety like Pinot Noir.On the nose, red fruits, such as ripe cherries and raspberries, accompanied by floral notes of violets and roses slowly reveal themselves. These aromas are complemented by hints of earthiness and subtle spice derived from oak maturation, adding further layers of intrigue. The palate mirrors the nose, with red fruit flavors accompanied by a touch of delicate minerality that lingers on the relatively persistent finish.
