2010 Nuits-St Georges, Clos des Argillières, 1er Cru, M & P Rion

Nuits-St Georges, Clos des Argillieres, 1er Cru, M & P Rion
Heady, dark and succulent fruit present themselves on the nose of the wine, which is both full and satisfying, with a second wave of fruit roaring across the palate at the back. Succulent and ripe, but still very fresh, the grapes for this wine were clearly picked at optimum ripeness.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

We have decided to combine here the wines that fall under the domaine label and those produced officially as négociant wines and labelled as Patrice Rion. Most of these cuvées are from vines managed by Patrice who has one contract to farm the vineyards and another to buy the grapes. The exceptions are the village Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-St Georges Vieilles Vignes where Patrice is not involved in the farming.

Patrice and son Maxime are tweaking their techniques a little by reducing new oak and slightly increasing extraction in the pre-fermentation stage. These are impressive results – the Nuits-St Georges continues the consistently fine streak of recent years while this is certainly the finest range of Chambolle-Musigny that they have ever produced. 2010 reminds Patrice a little of 1978 and 1991, two vintages with small yields, full ripeness and notable concentration.

Nuits-St Georges, Clos des Argillieres, 1er Cru, M & P Rion
Due to the late malo there are still vestiges of fermentation aromas along with ripe and dense red and blue pinot fruit aromas together with a plentitude of earth influence that doesn't stop at the nose as there is also a distinct earthiness to the supple and round flavors. This is a good deal more refined than the Nuits villages as there is a pleasing mouth feel and a discreet minerality on the restrained and understated finish. I like the balance and overall sense of refinement though there isn't the complexity of the Clos St. Marc.
