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.
Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘Bas de Combe’, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils 2016
"'The best Nuit Saint Georges village wine – it should be a 1er Cru' is how Guillaume describes ‘Bas de Combe’ – just look at where the vineyard is situated to see why (nestled between 1er Cru ‘Aux Baudots’ and neighbouring Vosne Romanée aristocracy: 1er ‘Chaumes’, and its northern corner practically touching 1er Cru ‘Aux Malconsorts’. From eighty-five year-old vines which have a lot of millanderage." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru Tardy's 2016 Bas de Combe is all about finesse over muscle - a seductive, quietly complex NSG that’s drinking wonderfully now but still has years ahead of it. Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils is a small, quality-focused family estate known for producing polished, supple Burgundies that lean into perfume and purity.
