2010  Coeur du Roches

2010  Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru

Description of the plot : Located south of the village on the edge of Chambolle, below Clos de Tart and Les Bonnes Mares. Situated in the valley bottom, the plot is sheltered from the cold north winds and enjoys a microclimate which enables good grape maturity. For those just getting to know Burgundy wines, Magnien is a masterful guide, as he offers an unparalleled selection of wines from the region's finest vineyards. Yet for Burgundy connoisseurs, Magnien is the benchmark for exploring the characteristics of grand and premier cru wines: the licorice of Chambertin, the incense of Morey "Ruchots," the orange essence of Échezeaux. The signature of Magnien Burgundy is the perfumes and tastes of late summer -- dark, ripe plums and sweet, concentrated blackberries, cooled by the laurel-tinged air of the forest.

2010  1er Cru, Rugiens

International Wine Cellar 92-95 "Good full, bright red. Subtle, high-pitched aromas of cherry, tobacco, leather and dried rose. Sweet, creamy and deep, with some CO2 adding to the impression of freshness. Wonderfully perfumed, very long wine, finishing with outstanding finesse of tannins, complex saline soil tones, and terrific energy and lift. Pommard without a whisper of rusticity." ~S.T.

"Relatively strong reduction dominates the nose at present and prevents a thorough assessment. By contrast, there is good freshness and ample verve to the exceptionally rich, powerful and borderline massive flavors that enjoy support in the form of a very concentrated mid-palate and a notably firm tannic spine that imparts a chewy texture to the hugely long, mouth coating and tannic finish. This is breathtakingly good though like any self-respecting Clos du Roi, to note that it will need plenty of bottle age is largely superfluous.' - 92-95pts BH

"Discreet wood sets off a wonderfully elegant, airy and ultra-pure though quite ripe red pinot fruit nose that displays plenty of wet stone, floral and earth influences. The silky but firm large-scaled flavors are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that buffers the firm and ripe supporting tannins on the moderately austere, persistent and palate coating finish. Like all of the 2010s in the Trapet range, this is quite understated and beautifully balanced though note again that plenty of patience will be required." - 94pts Burghound
