Domaine Rion Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de Argillières - 2022 (750ml)

(92-94) points Vinous Media

The 2022  Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de Argillières 1er Cru is strict on the nose at first, buttoned-up black fruit, the whole byunches (30%) neatly assimilated. The medium-bodied palate offers succulent, ripe black fruit commingling with blood orange, graphite and touches of black pepper. This wine has a beautiful build, which feels long and tender on the finish. Excellent. - Neal Martin Nov '23

Winemaker's Notes:

Tasting notes
To the eye : the wine is dark and purple
On the nose : Blackberries dominate the nose, along with blackcurrants and blueberries. There is a more savage side exhibited in the notes of juniper and hawthorn. Even if in youth the nose is discreet, its class is always evident.
On the palate : concentrated and deep, but with elegance primordial. The tannins are fine, but a certain firmness holds place. A welcome minerality supports the finish

Drinking tips
Its elegant structure marries well with dishes such as saddle of lamb, rib steaks or duck breasts.
Serve at around 16C-17C. Will age well for 7-15 years.
