Michel Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers bottle image

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 Cazetiers 1er Cru borders Clos-Saint-Jacques on the combe (a small valley) that lies behind the village. Vineyards on the combe benefit from cool air drawn down from the forest above it and some of the premier crus here can be exceptional. Cazetiers is a steep, east-facing site with rocky marl soil and tends to produce sturdy and robust wines.
