Domaine Daniel Rion et Fils' Pinot Noirs in 2018 are generous and satisfying thanks to careful control of tannin levels through the extraction process. Total de-stemming of the grapes that were harvested between the 4th and 12th September and fermenting at a lower temperature has helped to retain generous fruit character and freshness. Village wines received 35% new oak, Premier Cru 50%, and 65% for the Grand Cru wines.
