Special selection by wine industry heavyweight " Monsieur TN"
This is a special selection of wine recommended by Monsieur TN of FIC WINE.
Monsieur TN is a veteran of the wine industry with over 40 years of experience. He has held key positions at a number of importers, including as brand manager for a famous Champagne house. He is involved in importing world-famous wines, including those from Bordeaux and Burgundy, to Japan. His hobbies include learning how to cook under Michelin-star chefs and going on gourmet tours.
This time, we will be looking at the Morey Saint Denis Premier Cru Climat d'Or, the signature cuvée from Domaine Michel Magnen, who has been a long-time friend of Monsieur TN for over 20 years.
From Monsieur TN to you all
Magnen's home base, Morey-Saint-Denis, is known for having the most Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte d'Or, a region packed with Burgundy's finest vineyards. The rankings of Burgundy's wine regions, which have been determined over a long history, are well-founded and the tastes and differences are also special.
However, since Morey-Saint-Denis has many Premier Cru wines and they are not inexpensive, it is true that many producers are struggling because their quality is not being recognized.
Michel Magnen's son and winemaker, Frédéric, came up with the idea of making up for this shortcoming with an "assemblage (blend)". He wanted to blend multiple Premier Cru wines to accurately express the characteristics of the year and the Morey-Saint-Denis vineyards, while also keeping the selling price down. This was the "Climat d'Or".
Please try Frederick's masterpiece.
