2022 Domaine Michel Magnien Bourgogne Rouge, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Crafted from meticulously farmed vineyards in the Côte d'Or, this 2022 Bourgogne Rouge exemplifies the elegance and purity of Pinot Noir from Burgundy. The wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels, with a minimal use of new oak to preserve the fresh fruit character. As an entry-level Burgundy, it offers an accessible yet nuanced glimpse into the prestigious terroirs of the region, making it ideal for pairing with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Domaine Michel Magnien has evolved into a Burgundy producer of a singular style and philosophy from their cellars located in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. Michel Magnien was born in 1946 and worked alongside his father Bernard from a young age. The Magniens sold their grapes to the local cooperative until 1993 when his son Frédéric joined the family business and persuaded his father to bottle the entire harvest by themselves. Frédéric Magnien began experimenting with organic practices in the late 1990s and the entire production was certified biodynamic by Demeter in 2015. Frédéric has also evolved the style of the wines and today élevage takes place in only used oak and clay jars.
Morey-Saint-Denis is in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits between Gevrey-Chambertin to its north and Chambolle-Musigny to its south. The domaine’s 45 acres are spread across the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne Romanée, with holdings in several premier cru and grand cru vineyards, including grand crus Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, and Charmes-Chambertin. Holdings are concentrated in Morey-Saint-Denis, where there are also parcels in the premier crus of Les Chaffots, Les Millandes, Les Blanchards, Aux Charmes, and Climats d’Or. Frédéric Magnien maintains an average vine age of 50 years, and has stated pointedly: “pulling out old vines is not my work.”
