Description
In a nutshell:
A rich and deep biodynamic Côte-de-Nuits Burgundy.
The lowdown:
The Seuvrées vineyard, from which this comes, is located towards the southern end of the Gevrey-Chambertin near to Morey-St-Denis and is close to the prestigious Grand Cru vineyards of Mazoyères and Charmes-Chambertin and is farmed biodynamically. Matured in a mix of used oak barriques and clay jars the fruit used comes from vines of around sixty years old. This brings an extra level of opulence to the signature flavours and aromas of black fruits, sweet cherries, liquorice and violets. There's also an underlying subtle hint of earthiness which marries well with the supple tannins.
The Producer:
Nestled in the picturesque village of Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côtes de Nuits, Domaine Magnien is a family estate now helmed by Frédéric Magnien. Since achieving biodynamic certification in 2015, they've taken a thoughtful approach to winemaking, notably using terracotta amphorae for ageing. This method promotes gentle micro-oxidation without the flavour influence of oak. The estate produces wines from their own vineyards under the name "Domaine Michel Magnien", while also crafting wines from carefully selected bought-in fruit, under the "Frédéric Magnien" label. It's an understated yet passionate endeavour in the heart of Burgundy.
When to drink:
A refined example of top quality village level red Burgundy. Perfect with beef and rich game dishes.
