Domaine Armelle & Bernard Rion Vosne Romanee 1er Les Chaumes 2020
Rion’s new 1er Cru ‘Les Chaumes’ 2020 is a sexy beauty now that could approach a triple digit score over the next decade. This tour-de-force offers the dreamy combination of exotic, age-worthy fruit and spices plus the monumental elegance of an age-worthy thoroughbred! Commencing with alluring aromas of Oolong tea, pomegranate, fresh cranberry and truffles, leading into a cornucopia of dark fruit flavors, baking spices, and firm tannins across a cashmere-like texture. Bright acidity keeps this dense Burgundy in check. Worthy of 98+ points now now (decanting recommended prior to 2026) and on the way to 99 points (or more!) in the next decade. Highly Recommended!
