Humble Grape Fleet Street is hosting a very special Burgundy winemaker dinner with Domaine Armelle & Bernard Rion, a top producer in the Burgundy area of France. Burgundy is revered for its sublime Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and this dinner is set to blow your socks off with five impeccable wines exclusive to Humble Grape.
Join our WSET certified wine gurus alongside winemakers Alice and Louis for a five-course journey through their vineyard, alongside expertly paired dishes from our talented executive chef, Dane Barnard.
What's on the menu?
1. A. Bonhomme Cremant de Bourgogne with chorizo croquettes and cheese croquettes
We kick things off with the best way we know how; fizz and canapes. Made in the same way as Champagne (but in Burgundy), this bottle-fermented Cremant is made exclusively from Chardonnay and aged on yeast lees for 24-months. Floral and fresh but toastier than a fire at a bakery, and there are only a thousand bottles made each year.
2. Domaine Armelle & Rion Meursault with crab fennel cucumber salad
The harvest is hand-picked and then pressed immediately. After settling, the must is placed in barrels, and the fermentation and maturation are held entirely in French oak barrels. This process makes this gold-coloured wine rich, round and fleshy. Enjoy aromas of vanilla, white flowers and even a bit of brioche, making it a perfect pair with crustaceans and fish.
3.Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion, Chorey-les-Beaune, 2019, Burgundy, France with poached salmon, wild garlic and peas radish
Arguably one of the most food friendly Burgundies around, this scrumptious wine is bursting at the seams with red fruits. The aromas of young red fruits such as cherry and raspberry will spice up your dish.
4. Domaine Armelle & Bernard Rion, Nuits St. Georges 'Dame Marguerite', 2017, Burgundy, France and wild mushroom risotto
Named after Louis Rion’s wife, who spent her whole life dedicated to working in the vineyard next to her husband, this is one powerful pinot. Five generations have worked hard to bring this wine to where it is today – so it needs to be enjoyed alongside a dish which complements it and gives it its full credit.
5. Domaine Armelle & Bernard Rion, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Damodes", 2018, Burgundy, France with pork cheeks, Jerusalem artichoke, kale
“Les Damodes” is both powerful and delicate, with rich black and red fruits aromas during its youth which will become more full-bodied as it ages. The red fruit flavour makes it a perfect match with red meat.
The wines are all traditionally vinified, totally de-stemmed, with a long vinification (2 to 3 weeks in open vats), and then aged for 15 months (half in new oak barrels), and all worth the wait.
Domaine Rion is what a real family winery is all about. Founded in 1896 by Pierre Rion, the former sharecropper of the Château de la Berchère who had acquired the Château’s vines, the family now has five generations of winemakers to its name. Pierre’s son Louis succeeded him and grew the Domaine and divided it between his two sons in 1952.
The oldest, Marcel Rion, grew the Domaine and stayed in Vosne Romanée, while Bernard Rion has helped his father since and now manages the Domaine with his wife Armelle, daughter Alice and her husband, Louis.
