LIMITED. Extraordinary potential. A spiral-bound nose of alternating baking spices, minerals and licorice hovers over a richly endowed and supple mouth of black and red cherries in liquor. Pure silk.
“A spicy, ripe and solidly complex nose of red berry fruit liqueur, plum and black cherry notes complements the supple, generous and concentrated medium-bodied flavors… the class and refinement of a grand cru.”—Burghound
"Good bright, dark red. Reticent but highly complex aromas of small wild red berries, black cherry, crushed stone, black and white pepper, wild herbs and cocoa powder. Less sweet today than the Clos de Beze and even more backward, even austere, but already displays a superb sugar/acid balance and outstanding incipient complexity. The clenched tannins are accentuated by strong underlying minerality. Finishes with terrific verve and grip. These vines were picked at the beginning of the harvest, while the Clos de Beze came in at the end, noted Magnien."--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Frédéric Magnien Cremant de Bourgogne
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Fresh, fruity and floral, with fine bubbles and a light mousse. The wine’s light color and light pearl is typical of ‘Blanc de Noirs’ Champagne! Structured (a nod to the spice and weight of Pinot Noir) but wonderfully balanced. Long in the mouth and playful—enjoy it throughout your meal!

Frédéric Magnien Bourgogne Rosé 2011
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A glassful of early summer—fresh white and pink currants mix with crushed raspberries on the fresh nose. An ideal blend of freshness and pure fruit. So little Pinot Noir rosé is made in Burgundy, let alone gets shipped beyond France. A rare treat!

Frédéric Magnien Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2010
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
LIMITED. Effortlessly beautiful and radiant, with a rich core of pure red/purple fruit. The wine’s texture and aroma all speaks to a ruddy glow of rich fruit and pure flavors, a Pinot Noir autumn sunset. “This is impressively refined with excellent breadth to the pure and elegant aromas that display a lovely range of spice elements along with a cool mélange of red and dark berry fruit and stone notes. The rich, supple and mouth-coating big-bodied flavors possess very good phenolic maturity as the firm tannins are pushed to the background…”—Burghound

Frédéric Magnien Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Borniques 2010
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Another favorite and one in which Fred decided to add considerably less sulfur than usual—the resulting natural texture and velvety mouthfeel is overwhelmingly seductive. Pure red berry fruit and lots of power; Burgundian Pinot Noir doesn’t get more natural or pure than this. “The exceptionally fresh and energetic medium-bodied flavors are mineral-inflected and quite pure…This is lovely and actually very good…”—Burghound

Frédéric Magnien Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Charmes 2010
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A sultry, saturated premier cru with darker fruits on the nose but a gorgeous mouthful of summer-ripe red berries and spice on the mouth. The classic Chambolle elegance and aroma is here in spades, with an added dose of spice and pure fruit on the finish. “This is more elegant still with really lovely aromas of rose petals and red currant that give way seamlessly to the lilting, pure and intense middle weight flavors that culminate in a linear and impressively persistent finish. Strongly recommended.”—Burghound

Frédéric Magnien Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2010
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A lacy floral nose opens to a delicate and precise mouth of purple and red fruits. Fred’s selection of older vines here gives more profound, complex flavors than one would expect from a village wine. “A restrained but highly complex nose exhibits notes of wild red berries, cassis, plum and lovely floral hints…This is quite lacy and very Chambolle in character.”—Burghound

Frédéric Magnien Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2010
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
LIMITED. This wine drinks young as if it was a powder keg, with so much potential and energy it just might blow. Delicate floral and colored peppery nose; lots of complexity and concentration. “The mid-palate is relatively generous and already accessible…This is certainly pretty…”—Burghound
