COMMENT
Based in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, this domaine owns 18 hectares in the Côte de Nuits. Frédéric, the fifth generation owner, has actively implemented biodynamic farming methods and has improved the quality of his wines using his own unique techniques, such as using wooden barrels and terracotta jars for aging. He is highly regarded by other winemakers and is one of the leading winemakers in the Côte de Nuits today.
This wine is made using only Chardonnay grown in clay-limestone soils, without the Aligoté variety that is usually added. Although grapes from all over Burgundy can be used for this AOC wine, Magnan uses only grapes from the Côte de Nuits to express the flavor of the terroir of this region.
WINEMAKING
The grapes are hand-picked and rigorously selected before being vinified.
