DOMAINE ARMELLE & BERNARD RION NUITS ST GEORGES 1ER CRU
Discover the essence of Nuits Saint Georges with this exceptional wine crafted from two prestigious lieux-dits: "Les Murgers" and "Aux Chaignots", spanning 0.56 hectares in total. Nestled north of Nuits Saint Georges, near the village of Vosne-Romanée, these parcels boast optimal sun exposure and nutrient-poor, gravelly clay-limestone soils. Sourced from vines over 75 years old, the grapes reflect the terroir's richness and complexity.
Following meticulous manual harvesting, the grapes undergo 100% destemming. Whole berry fermentation takes place for two weeks in cement vats, with manual punch-downs enhancing extraction. Post-pressing, the wine gracefully matures in barrels (60% new oak) in the cellar for approximately 15 months, where it develops depth and character.
Indulge in this exquisite wine, showcasing the finest expressions of Nuits Saint Georges terroir, with vibrant fruit flavours and a touch of oak complexity. Perfect for enhancing any special occasion or culinary delight.
