Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion, Nuits St. Georges, 1er Cru "Marcel Heritage"
This is a powerful, rich and complex wine, which is very round in the mouth with a leather finish. This fruity wine in its first years will become hardier and its flavours will change to earthy, forest and mushrooms. It will match well with some red meats, grilled or in sauce, game and lamb.
