Marsannay En Combereau, Edouard Delaunay 2020
Laurent set about to catapult these wines into the stratosphere and after sweeping up at the IWC 2020 awards for their incredible 2019s, one could argue, they may have reached space itself! They were in fact the biggest winner at the awards, picking up 8 trophies, Red Winemaker of the Year (for the wonderful Christophe Briotet), as well as 15 gold, 30 silver and 7 bronze medals. It is with great pleasure therefore that we can offer these brilliant wines. Every cuvée is treated individually, without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, which allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the individual terroirs and vintage. What we have is absolutely everything we love about Burgundy. A real sense of place. "From a single calcareous clay rich vineyard just south of the village but quite high on the slope and on the same level as Fixin. Aged in one and two year barrels previously housing the estate’s Hospices de Beaune wines. Lightly medicinal, smoky aromas, like an 17th Century apothecary might smell, and also raspberry and blackcurrant leaf. There is a touch of sour cherry alongside the earthy red berry fruits on the palate and some nice sinews, provided by lapsang tea tannins, leading to a salted liquorice finish. I’m always a fan of this wine which punches well above its weight and offers genuine interest rather than generic Pinot character." Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
Michel Magnien Fixin 2018
' Michel Magnien represents the fourth generation of wine growers of the Magnien family. From a very young age, he worked on the vineyard of his father, Bernard Magnien (third generation) owner of 4 hectares of vines. The Domaine is an 18-hectare vine Estate located on the Côte de Nuits and spilt into 23 appellations of Grands Crus, Premiers Crus, Villages and AOC Regionales. After years of application, Domaine Michel Magnien was certified as biodynamic by Demeter in 2015. At each stage, the work follows the rhythm of the synodic cycle of the moon. They are fully committed to organic agricultural principles in their management of vines and wines. Thanks to Michel Magnien's special care for his vines over the years, the wines are unique and faithful to the best terroirs in Burgundy. The Estate is now managed by Frederic, the fifth generation, who strives to raise our wines at the highest level of quality. '
