Patrice Rion in Burgundy

Visited Patrice Rion in Burgundy on our way down from Paris to Antibes. We had already ordered some wine per email. The temperature was 35c so the visit to the cave was just what was required to cool down. The following wines were tasted (and bought), compared to the prices in Norway these can be bought directly from the producer for half the price.

Nuits-Saint-Georges les Terres Blanches 2007 (very rare white with screwcork!)

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Clos Saint Jacques 2007 

Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Charmes 2004
Chambolle-Musigny 2007
 
All the wines were wonderful, what a wine maker! Details to follow. Biggest problem was to fit the three cases in the car (not in the boot) due to the high temperatures. In fact we had to move them to the hotelroom over night as well......

Bordeaux- Le prelat du Ch. Pape Clement 2004

This is one of two second wines of the famous and expensive Ch. Pape Clement in Graves. Although young,  2004, this wine drinks really well already if you put it on carafe a couple of hours before consumption. Dark red colour, with a very attractive smell of blueberries and dark berries, its a full bodied wine with firm but nice tannins that goes best with some food. 2004 although not the best of vintages, keep surprising me with good drinkable wines at affordable prices, because from 2005 and onwards there is a big step up in prices.... Grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon 60% and Merlot 40% Price around 20€ P+

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!
