Michele & Patrice Rion Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Clos des Argillières” 2022 is a highly regarded Premier Cru Burgundy from the northern sector of Nuits-Saint-Georges, produced by Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion. This climat sits close to Vosne-Romanée, giving the wine a more refined and elegant profile compared to the typically more powerful southern Nuits-Saint-Georges expressions.
The Clos des Argillières vineyard is known for old vines and limestone-rich soils, producing wines with depth, structure, and finesse. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy delivered excellent ripeness and balance, resulting in wines that are expressive, generous, and capable of long ageing. Wine critics highlight this cuvée for its silky texture, fine tannins, and impressive length, making it a standout among the domaine’s Premier Cru offerings.
