2023 Bourgogne Rouge Les Bons Bâtons, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion

2023 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. It’s a beautifully perfumed Bourgogne with a lacy texture to the tannins and excellent concentration thanks to the vineyard's tendency to millerandages (small berries). Like Ghislaine’s, you can cellar this with confidence.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Bourgogne Rouge Bon Baton comes from a parcel adjacent to Ghislaine Barthod's on stonier soils, aged mostly in one-year-old barrels. Lightly perfumed on the nose, this conjures raspberry, strawberry and wild hedgerow scents, more complex than your common or garden Bourgogne Rouge. The palate is medium-bodied with satisfying concentration, not weighty or dense but light on its feet with commendable purity and grip on the finish. Traces of tobacco emerge on the aftertaste. Village Cru in quality.

An even purple colour. A very attractive stylish perfumed floral nose, with a little more body than the regular. Not massively concentrated but distinguished in its length. Sound acidity. The flavours stay with you. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.
