Chorey Les Beaune

Armelle and Bernard Rion, associated with their daughters Nelly, Mélissa, Alice and her husband Louis, are working on 8 hectares, mostly on Côte de Nuits. In the vineyard and in the wine making, the Rion family works traditionally using the knowledge of the past generations.

Chorey-lès-Beaune is a wine-producing village in the Côte de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy. Deprived of the increased sunshine levels and drainage enjoyed by the vineyards on the slopes above, the vines here struggle to ripen with the same reliability. Consequently they tend to produce lighter, rather simpler wines. This wine is produced thanks to the selection of grapes from several plots between Ladoix and Chorey-Lès-Beaune, in Village appellation, for an overall area of 1,33 acres.

This wine is well balanced, full of fruits, with moderate but subtil and elegant tannins. In his youth, it develops aromas of young red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. Over time, the tannins will soften and allow more complex aromas of jammy fruits, gingerbread.
