2011  Les Hautes Mazieres

Les Hautes Mazieres - "An attractively fresh and ripe nose of mostly red berry fruit liqueur aromas is nuanced by notes of violet and rose petal. The palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is energetic, detailed and concentrated before concluding in a supple, round and delicious finish that displays a lovely vibrancy along with a touch of youthful austerity. A lovely villages." - BH Outstanding

2016  

"They 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs was reduced by 30% production, with 30% whole bunch and 30% new oak. It has a well-defined blackberry and wild strawberry bouquet with subtle rose petal aromas. The palate is well balanced with supple red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, just a subtle chalkiness to the texture toward the finish, but a very mineral-rich aftertaste in situ. This is a replica of the brilliant 2015." 92-94 Wine Advocate

2016  Nuits-St-Georges

Nuits-St-Georges ---- "A more deeply pitched nose features notes of plum and earth along with whiffs of wood and the sauvage. There is fine density and intensity to the lightly stony medium weight flavors that conclude in a saline and moderately rustic finale." - BH

2014  Bel Air

Bel Air -- "A cool, pure and restrained nose displays the attractively fresh essence of red pinot fruit, lavender and discreet earth nuances. There is equally good freshness and detail to the utterly delicious, complex and mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that display a taut muscularity as well as a sophisticated mouth feel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the saline and impressively intense finish. This too is really quite good and worth checking out." - 92pts/Outstanding BH

2017  

"This is the first wine in the range to display reductive notes and while I expect that they are largely due to the very recent bottling, I would suggest decanting this if you're going to crack a bottle in the next 12 months or so. Otherwise there is once again an attractive sleekness to the precise and vibrant medium weight flavors that brim with minerality that really comes to the fore on the impressively complex and persistent finish that is somewhat linear at present. I would expect this to flesh out with bottle age." - 92pts Burghound

2015  1er Cru Les Borniques

Certified organic, Borniques borders grand cru Musigny and sits east-facing above premier cru ‘Amoureuses’ with soils are nearly identical to grand cru Musigny, limestone and veins of white and yellow clay. Vine ages range from 40-60 years. Aged 43% in clay jars and 57% in older French oak barrels. Tasting Note: An appealingly fresh nose once again exhibits a subtle hint of menthol that combines with plum, black raspberry and subtle spice notes. There is excellent richness to the concentrated and unusually powerful broad-scaled flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that saturates the palate on the wonderfully intense and solidly firm finish. This is quite serious but even so it is more refined than the Charmes. - BH Pair with grilled red meat; aged, soft-rind French cheese or game meats.

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.

2017  Chambolle-Musigny

"Ample cherry, raspberry, floral and spice flavors mark this succulent red. Tightly wound, this offers a solid structure, with a mix of grape and oak tannins imparting density on the long finish." - 94pts WS
