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: 88-91 Points
There is excellent verve to the well-detailed, sleek and precise flavors that flash good minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that is presently compact and youthfully austere. At least some patience will clearly be beneficial.
Notes: from four village level lieu-dit
