2020 Bourgogne Rouge Les Bons Bâtons, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion

2020 Bourgogne Rouge Les Bons Bâtons, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion

This vineyard between Chambolle Musigny and Gilly-lès-Citeaux is one of the best parcels of Bourgogne in the Côte de Nuits. Neighbour Ghislaine Barthod’s Bourgogne Rouge is another exceptional example of this vineyard. Maxime describes his Bons Bâtons in 2020 “like a ristretto”, where everything - acidity, fruit, tannin - is concentrated, giving this Bourgogne serious impact. But it’s also the wine’s purity and elegance that I find so attractive. This will be a go-to in your cellar if you get some.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Bourgogne Rouge "Bon Baton", named after the lieu-dit in the appellation of Gilly, has a delightful bouquet with dark berry fruit, crushed violet and a touch of Indian ink. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity with the whole bunch lending a discrete peppery note on the finish. Load up. Closure - Diam
