Wine Description

Domaine Michel Magnien has evolved into a Burgundy producer of a singular style and philosophy from cellars located in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. In 1993, Frédéric Magnien persuaded his father Michel to begin domaine bottling. The domaine is now certified biodynamic by Demeter and the wines are produced without the use of new oak

The domaine’s 45 acres are spread across the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne Romanée, with holdings in several premier cru and grand cru vineyards. These include the grand crus Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, and Charmes-Chambertin. Frédéric Magnien maintains an average vine age of 50 years

Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées is a lieu-dit lying below the D974 directly below the grand cru of Charmes-Chambertin. Seuvrées comes from the Latin “separatas” and was named because the plot is separated by the borders of Gevrey and Morey. It is from clay-limestone soils with round stones of varying sizes.

Acclaim
“Tightly packed, this red delivers a beam of cherry, surrounded by earth, tobacco and mineral elements. Shows purity and rusticity, creating a dialogue that lingers through the finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Nov 2018
“Bright medium red. Red berries, candied cherry, smoky minerality and a hint of underbrush on the nose. Then juicy and spicy but on the lean side; as intense as the village Morey but less sweet in the early going owing to slightly tart acidity. This finished its malolactic fermentation early in a combination of barrels and jarres (terracotta vessels that Magnien started using in 2015; see my review of Magnien’s négociant wines for more information on this subject).” 87-89 points
