Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion, Chambolle-Musigny les Echezeaux
This wine offers aromas of red fruits but also of flowers like violet during its youth. All along his life, this wine will show all its delicateness. After 5 years, it will change to underbrush and mushrooms fragrances, and even a hint of leather. You can enjoy it with raw and cook fishes, white meats roasted or in sauce, and of course with cheese.
