Founded in the late 1980s, with a family tradition spanning 12 generations. Since 2009, the estate, which boasts 7 hectares of vineyards, including some prestigious Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels in the communes of Gevrey-Chambertin and Corton, has been managed by Charles Magnien, Henri's grandson. This Gevrey-Chambertin is produced with Pinot Noir grapes from a parcel in the Premier Cru Les Champeaux, one of the most prestigious in the Côte de Nuits. Here, optimal exposure and a soil composed of calcareous marl and clay contribute to creating a powerful and elegant wine. After harvest and vinification, the wine ages in a mix of new and used French oak barrels. In the glass, the wine reveals a brilliant ruby color. Its aromatic profile is broad and fragrant, with characteristic notes of cherry, strawberry, and raspberry intertwined with floral and spicy hints. The influence of the wood is extremely well-balanced and respects the wine's natural aromatic elegance. On the palate, it has good complexity and a medium body. It is harmonious, fresh, and smooth with silky tannins and a refreshing acidity that lingers on the finish. Try it with duck breast, mushroom risotto, or filet mignon.
