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.
