For five generations, the Domaine Rion has been a family story. Armelle, Bernard, our 3 daughters Nelly, Alice and Melissa, and the sons in law Louis and Gregory, love to share our passion and our know-how on our wines of Burgundy.
Domaine RION was founded in 1896 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. Since 2006, Alice makes the wines with Bernard, who so transmits her his knowledge. The husband of Alice, Louis, joined her on the Domaine in 2010, and takes care gradually of the work into the vineyards, always under Bernard’s eye. Since 2015, Nelly, the elder of 3 girls of Armelle and Bernard, came back to the Domaine and takes care mainly of the marketing. In 2018 Melissa joined the domain. A great family history!
