Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion

Michèle and Patrice Rion created their own Côte de Nuits estate in 1990 while Patrice was still working at Domaine Daniel Rion. In 2000 they completed a purpose-built winery and expanded the independent business. Their son Maxime joined in 2005 after studies in viticulture and oenology, adding a new generation to the family project.

The domaine is based at Prémeaux-Prissey near Nuits-Saint-Georges and works Pinot Noir and smaller Chardonnay holdings across several Côte de Nuits appellations. It also vinifies fruit from partner growers, a scope kept separate from the estate’s own vineyard area. The domaine’s current work connects its 1990 start, the new winery and a continuing family base in Burgundy.
