Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru, La Coutière, Domaine Henri Magnien 2021
We are very excited to be working with Charles as he pushes forward into the front rank of Gevrey Chambertin growers. Introduced through his good friend Pierre Duroché, Magnien’s style of wines is nearer to Dugat-Py, in terms of richness, power and density. The domaine owns some prime sites in the north west quadrant of Gevrey, an area known locally as the Côte Saint-Jacques, including holdings in Lavaut and Estournelles and also a great strip running the length of Cazetiers, known as the “Le Petit Chambertin” because it has the same combination of soil types. Charles is also very particular about oak – choosing his own wood, exclusively now from the forests of Fontainbleu and Chatillons, and giving to his preferred tonneliere Chauvin. He finds the different forests favour different cuvées and that it is not so much the percentage of new oak but rather the type of wood and level of toast that is most important.
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2022
The single bottles are offered in own wooden cases, 1 week delivery. The cases of six are shipping in autumn, 2026 Grand-Puy-Lacoste stands among Pauillac's most reliable estates, and their 2022 shows exactly why we rate them so highly. This is classic Left Bank Bordeaux with blackcurrant depth, cedar spice, and that distinctive graphite minerality that makes Pauillac so compelling. The structure here is impressive but not intimidating. At four years old, it's beginning to show its pedigree whilst keeping plenty in reserve. The tannins have that grainy texture that speaks of quality fruit and careful extraction. This vintage captures everything we love about Grand-Puy-Lacoste: the estate's signature elegance wrapped around a core of serious Cabernet Sauvignon.
