法國權威Bettane and Desseauve將Maison Magnien列為4星,甚至超越了他父親的酒莊,是對其品質的肯定。酒評專家都認為 Maison Frederic Magnien & Domaine Michel Magnien 之間品質的差別幾乎不存在。
Note: from 55 to 65 year old vines
Producer note: See the comments for Domaine Michel Magnien above for importer information and vintage comments. Note also that for his 2005 négociant wines, Magnien has simplified them somewhat by adopting certain cuvée names like Coeur des Roches and issuing a number of old vines offerings at the villages level, the latter of which are particularly interesting. And in a few cases, he has replaced the term Vieilles Vignes with the name of a cuvée.
Tasting note: A wonderfully elegant and very Chambolle nose offers bright red and blue berry aromas nuanced by spice and earth hints that give way to supple and quite finely detailed and structured middle weight flavors that possess lovely detail and nuance though the finish features well integrated but notable firm tannins. An impressive villages and definitely worth a look as there is both finesse and punch here.
