2016 Domaine Daniel Rion Vosne-Romanée ‘Les Chaumes’ 1er Cru
Off a spectacular, old vine vineyard planted in 1944 and 1945. More red-fruited than the Nuits Vignerondes. Very inviting aroma, suggesting generosity. The oak shows clearly on the palate but the fruit swells up underneath to keep it in harmony. Juicy, long and with already-supple tannins. JH 2018
