Frédéric Magnien - Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes
Burgundy - Gevrey-Chambertin AOP
Vineyard
Frédéric Magnien is the 5th generation of winegrowers in his family. With experience abroad and an oenologist diploma, he created his own house as a wine merchant in 1995. The vines he owns are on average more than 55 years old and are planted on soil limestone and stony with a little clay and since 1996, all stages of winemaking have been punctuated by lunar cycles. The subsoil is rocky, the roots of the old vines will deeply draw minerals and essential elements which give this wine its character.
Winemaking
The harvest is manual. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats and punching down is manual. Aging is done in old oak barrels then in stainless steel vats.
Tasting
The nose is fruity with blackcurrant and blackberry, but also floral with beautiful notes of violet. The palate is elegant with noble tannins and a beautiful fullness with aromas of undergrowth and prunes. Charm and elegance are there, a perfect translation of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir.
