2014 Morey-St.-Denis ‘Les Herbuottes’<\/strong>
\nA perfectly placed village vineyard, not far from grand cru Clos de la Roche, and one that captures the essence of Morey, with its spicy aromas and pure flavors.<\/p>\n2014 Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Jeunes Rois’<\/strong>
\nThe vineyard’s walls trap heat and push Pinot Noir here to a deep, black-fruited concentration; supple flavors and lots of aroma, and a wine that will age, too.<\/p>\n2014 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes<\/strong>
\nElegant violet aromas and plush, purple fruit are delightful in this Chambolle. Rich fruit from older vines gives this Pinot more depth and concentration.<\/p>\n2014 Vosne-Roman\u00e9e ‘Aux Champs Perdrix’<\/strong>
\nA villages-level wine that always outperforms, given its ideal placement, not far from hallowed grand crus La T\u00e2che and Roman\u00e9e-Conti.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”PREMIER CRU WINES” tab_font_select=”default” tab_font=”||||” tab_line_height=”2em” tab_line_height_tablet=”2em” tab_line_height_phone=”2em” body_font_select=”default” body_font=”||||” body_line_height=”2em” body_line_height_tablet=”2em” body_line_height_phone=”2em”]<\/p>\n
2014 Morey-St.-Denis 1er Cru ‘Ruchots’<\/strong>
\nMorey\u2019s top premier cru vineyard; Magnien\u2019s vines sit near the vineyard wall with Clos de Tart. Tangy, richly perfumed and always built for the long haul.<\/p>\n2014 Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru ‘Damodes’<\/strong>
\nElegance and power combined; \u2018Damodes\u2019 is unusual in that its terroir is mostly chalk, rare for the appellation. Plums, violets and red currants.<\/p>\n2014 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Lavaux Saint Jacques’<\/strong>
\n\u2018Lavaux\u2019 vines feed directly from Burgundy\u2019s \u201cmother rock,\u201d giving this wine serious concentration and body. An excellent selection for the cellar.<\/p>\n2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru \u2018Borniques\u2019<\/strong>
\nBordering grand cru Musigny and sharing similar exposition and clay-rich soils, \u2018Borniques\u2019 is a richer, more complex Chambolle that still retains the village\u2019s characteristic cool, floral aromas<\/p>\n2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Charmes’ Vieilles Vignes<\/strong>
\nSilky and refined, \u2018Charmes\u2019 feeds almost directly from the chalky \u201cmother rock\u201d just a few inches below the surface; this proximity results in a mineral wine, with classic Chambolle ruby-like fruit and light spice.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”GRAND CRU WINES” tab_font_select=”default” tab_font=”||||” tab_line_height=”2em” tab_line_height_tablet=”2em” tab_line_height_phone=”2em” body_font_select=”default” body_font=”||||” body_line_height=”2em” body_line_height_tablet=”2em” body_line_height_phone=”2em”]<\/p>\n
2014 Echezeaux Grand Cru<\/strong>
\nA profound yet elegant Echezeaux, a blend of older-vine Pinot from lieu-dits \u2018Les Treux\u2019 and \u2018Les Poulaill\u00e8res,\u2019 a plot from which Roman\u00e9e-Conti makes its own Echezeaux exclusively.<\/p>\n2014 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru<\/strong>
\nMagnien\u2019s selections hail from the top of the vineyard, the middle and the lower slope, a combination that he feels represents a perfect cross-section of the \u201creal\u201d Vougeot.<\/p>\n2014 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru \u2018Aux Charmes\u2019<\/strong>
\nA special selection of very old vines (some over 100 years old) from the \u2018Aux Charmes\u2019 lieu-dit (bordering Chambertin) gives a Pinot Noir of impressive concentration yet woven from pure silk.<\/p>\n2014 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru<\/strong>
\nStructured and supple, a grand cru for the ages. Magnien\u2019s vines sit on the Morey side of the vineyard, bordering Clos de Tart, on iron-rich soils, which gives the wine its mineral complexity.<\/p>\n2014 Chambertin-Clos de B\u00e8ze Grand Cru<\/strong>
\nA royal purple robe in aroma and flavor drapes this grand cru. Magnien\u2019s vines sit upslope where the soil is thinner and chalky \u201cmother rock\u201d more pronounced; fine tannins and a suave profile.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_tab] [\/et_pb_tabs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” global_module=”2353″ make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_post_nav global_parent=”2353″ admin_label=”Post Navigation” in_same_term=”off” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#d46d32″ border_style=”solid” custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px”]

Fred\u2019s 2014s are scheduled to dock in mid-August, yet the rude reality of this truly delicious vintage is there\u2019s very little to go around. For many of Fred\u2019s premier and grand cru wines, we can count the cases we\u2019ve been able to import on two hands. Yet this early call to reserve the wines you want is one that should be heeded: 2014 is a vintage to please equally those who enjoy Burgundy in its youth and those who don\u2019t mind waiting a decade or so for time to work its magic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2974,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[87,73,132,131,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cote-de-nuits-burgundy","category-france","category-frederic-magnien","category-new-arrivals","category-organic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2973"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2980,"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2973\/revisions\/2980"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
