Domaine Henri Magnien crafts this Corton from the steep slopes of Grandes Lolières, where Pinot Noir takes on a decidedly muscular character. This is Burgundy with shoulders - the kind of wine that makes Corton famous for reds that can match Gevrey-Chambertin for power while keeping that high-altitude precision. At seven years old, this 2019 is just beginning to show its hand. We find dark cherry wrapped in earth and smoke, with tannins that still demand respect. Give it another couple of years and you'll discover why Corton remains Burgundy's most age-worthy red outside the Côte de Nuits.
