The Domaine RION was founded in 1880 by Pierre Rion, the ex-sharecropper of the Château de la Berchère who had acquired the Château’s vines. His son Louis succeeded him, and during his time, he substantially enlarged the Domaine. In 1952, the Domaine was divided between his 2 sons. The oldest, Marcel Rion, further enlarged the Domaine and stayed in Vosne Romanée. Bernard Rion has helped his father since 1973 and now manages the Domaine with his wife Armelle and his daughter Alice.

These balanced and complete wines are traditionally vinified. Totally de-stemmed, with a long vinification (2 to 3 weeks in open vats), and they are then aged for 18 months (half in new oak barrels). They are pleasant and fruity for the young vintages, but well structured enough to ensure good ageing.

Armelle, Bernard and their daughter Alice not only like to welcome visiters to their cellar but they also like to offer tastings of their wines. They can receive groups by appointment. They put all of their care into preparing the shipments and company gift packages. At the Domaine Rion you can discover some old vintages, in bottles and in magnums. For more information concerning the domaine and their prices, contact them and they will be delighted to respond to your questions or comments.
