Patrice Rion, Bourgogne
"Patrice Rion er en af Bourgognes førende og mest fuldkomne vinmagere" skriver Bourgogneeksperten Anthony Hanson i bogen "Burgundy", og rødvinene får topanmeldelser mange steder. Frugtige, elegante og feminine Pinot Noir vine.
Vi startede med at handle med Patrice Rion i 2006 og havde en stor oplevelse da vi smagte hele den fantastiske årgang 2005.

Trods en dyb og varm duft også en pinot’sk lethed, der forstærker glæden ved at dufte til denne vin. Stor modenhed fornemmes i nuancerne af kirsebær og boysenbær. Desuden en svag krydring og hints af tørrede urter. Smagen ret potent med noter af lakrids og brombær og en let urtet finish. Her er flot mundfylde og forbilledlig harmoni mellem frugt og fad. Hvis det bare altid var så let at forelske sig i bourgogne…
Lovely stuff with everything in the right place and proportion. Still youthful but the class of the vineyard shines out. Long and sophisticated. Great tannin and fruit balance. Hint of chestnuts. Not super-fruity – just eloquent. - Jancis Robinson MW
The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières 1er Cru contains around 25 to 30% whole bunch fruit this year (there was none last year, since there was no wine due to devastating frost.) The precise bouquet leans a little more toward black than red fruit and feels wonderfully detailed yet understated. This does not need to show off. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, pitch-perfect acidity, fine structure and quite an insistent grip that suggests it will require longer bottle age than Rion’s other crus. It leaves a lovely tingle on the tongue after the wine has departed. Excellent. - Neal Martin
Rions bløde, cremede, let polerede stil passer godt til Nuits-Saint-Georges. Både 2014 og 2015 er på hylden, og mens 2014 er liflig, let, elegant og lige til at gå til – som årgangen – er 2015 anderledes mandig og mørk i frugten. Man kan smage, det er samme mark, men årgangen taler og taler for at gemme. 92++ point. -Niels Lillelund
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Argillières has a generous, quite floral bouquet with ample redcurrants, raspberry preserve and Alpine stream scents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, crisp acidity, quite strict and mean at the moment but I appreciate the energy conveyed here. Give it three years in bottle and you will have a seriously fine Nuits-Saint-Georges. - Neal Martin
