Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Henri Magnien 2023
The 2023 vintage at Domaine Henri Magnien stands out as a rare combination of exceptional quality and abundant yields, a balance seldom achieved in Burgundy. Meticulous grape selection during harvest ensured that only the finest fruit was used. Benefiting from a favourable flowering period, the vines produced well-formed bunches with a notable number of berries. The resulting wines are defined by their harmony: soft tannins, vibrant acidity, and a well-integrated richness. "A selection of fruit from eight plots, including centenarian vines from "Epointures" (planted in 1915), results in a deeply structured wine. Pronounced notes of cherry, loganberry, and liquorice dominate, while spice adds complexity. A fine balance of energy, tension, and acidity leads to a linear and precise finish. The wine is texturally rich, with grippy yet rounded tannins. Aged in 30% new oak." Our note This vintage displays a marked shift toward dark red fruit and spiced profiles compared to 2022, with enhanced freshness and balance. Achieving perfect ripeness was crucial, as the domaine opted for destemming all fruit, avoiding the use of whole bunches. The wines, crafted entirely from the Magnien clone of Pinot Noir developed in 1850, exhibit a clear expression of terroir alongside their refined structure and vitality.
Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, Clos Des Ormes, Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils 2021
Founded over hundred years ago, Georges Lignier has some of the greatest vineyards in and around Morey-Saint-Denis. Jasper Morris observes “ one of the strengths of the 16ha domaine is to have mature vineyards… replanted systematically in the 1950s with good vine material, not clones. ” The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008.
