2020 Dom. Henri Magnien Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles Saint Jacques 0,75lt.
An understated nose just hints at the pure, bright and pristine cherry that unfolds on the palate. Ample freshness which shines and illuminates every aspect of this wine, every outline, every nuance is defined. Subtle tannins provide a fine frame while the long finish echoes with freshness. Most elegant.
95 POINTS FALSTAFF
93 POINTS JASPER MORRIS
94 POINTS NEAL MARTIN
This Domaines started in 1987 and current winemaker Charles worked closely with his father Francois before taking over in 2012. Charles is quickly becoming one of the rising stars of Burgundy.
They sue an old clone called Pinot Noir Magnien which manifests itself in the wine with intensity and spiciness. The vineyards are centred in Gevrey with the Grand Cru Ruchottes and some brilliant premier crus lead by the Cazetiers with 80-100 year old vines as well as Lavaux St Jacques, Estounelles St Jacques. He recently added a Premier Cru vineyard in Aloxe Corton called La Coutiere. Charles has a very focussed view on the styles of wines he wants to produce saying: “I search to produce fine wine, not tannic wine – wine you can drink young, and keep if you want”.
