Domaine Henri Magnien - Gevrey-Chambertin 'Champerrier' 2021

Founded in 1987, Domaine Henri Magnien is a small family estate, with 6 hectares, located in Gevrey-Chambertin. After working side by side with his father Francois, Charles took over the domaine in 2012 and has taken the wines to new heights. He is considered to be one of the rising stars in Burgundy.

They have been using an old clone which is called Pinot Noir Magnien, aged between 70 to 100 years old, bringing unusual power and spiciness to the wines. The domaine has many of the very best vineyards, including Lavaux St-Jacques, Les Cazetiers and Ruchottes-Chambertin. In the past five years, they have converted 70-80% of their vineyards to organic viticulture.

"A slightly denser purple colour. The nose is floral as well as having a deep raspberry fruit. There is a beautifully pure fruit with both depth and charm, with a fine thread of mineral acidity running through the middle. This has been finely crafted and will give pleasure from the medium term. Drink from 2026-2030." 90-92 Points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy

"A distinctly cool nose combines notes of ultra-fresh and bright red currant, raspberry and plenty of Gevrey style earth nuances. The delicious medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the youthfully austere, serious, focused and sneaky long finish. This is also very much worth consideration" 89-92 Points, Burghound
