Maison Frédéric Magnien Description
Frédéric Magnien is a fifth-generation winemaker from Morey-SaintDenis. Learning the craft first from his father, Michel Magnien (of Domaine Michel Magnien), Fred also traveled to hone his talents in other fine wine regions before returning home and starting his own négociant domaine in his native village. Magnien differentiates himself from other négociants in that he works closely with partner growers throughout the growing season, selecting only older-vine parcels cared for to his exacting standards. His own teams pick the grapes at harvest, a further qualitative step. The vineyards Magnien works with are certified organic.
A bold, earthy and perfectly Gevrey selection of older-vine fruit from the village’s top terroirs. Dark fruited and spiced, with extraordinary energy throughout.
Tasting Note: Aromas of black cherry, red plum, peppery spice. Earthy and structured, with good complexity.
Wine Pairing: Grilled red meat or game; wild mushroom-based dishes
Burghound: 87-90 Points
This is aromatically similar to the old vines Nuits but with more noticeable sauvage character. There is an appealing underlying tension to the delicious middleweight flavors that possess acceptable concentration before terminating in a firm, dusty, youthfully austere and mildly warm finale.
