"Dark, ripe red fruits are immediately generous on the attack, then give way to a savoury, mineral-driven mid-palate. Tannins are firm yet polished, providing structure and tension, while the wine’s natural acidity keeps everything fresh and lifted. Powerful, layered, and long, Les Grandes Lolières is a Grand Cru that combines presence, poise, and absolute Corton character." Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager Domaine Henri Magnien continues to prove why Charles Magnien is firmly established as one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s rising stars. The 2024 vintage is a clear success here, with exceptional definition between cuvées and a masterclass in terroir expression. This is Magnien firing on all cylinders, with wines that reward both immediate enjoyment and long-term patience. Corton is Burgundy's only red Grand Cru outside the Côte de Nuits, and Les Lolières sits on the hill's eastern flank where the soils are deeper and the wines tend toward a more generous, fleshy expression than the steelier upper slopes.
