WINE DESCRIPTION
The small, family-run estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, specializing in red wines, is the result of four generations, with son Stéphane taking over in 2008. He continues to work alongside his father, Jean-Paul. Established in 1897 by Victor Magnien, the domaine originated from a gastronomic background but found its true calling in winemaking. The Magnien vineyards have never been treated with herbicides, employing only plowing for the past 30 years, resulting in well-ventilated soils with diverse and thriving microbiology. Vinification follows a highly traditional, minimally intrusive approach. The Magnien philosophy revolves around granting vines and wines maximum identity and treating them with profound respect. Hence, the domaine's wines, characterized by a subtle and delicate style, consistently exemplify the distinct terroirs of Morey-St.-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, and Gevrey-Chambertin.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Stephane Magnien Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Sentiers' is an exceptional wine with the elegance and finesse of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation.With its premier cru status, this wine offers a level of complexity and depth that is truly remarkable.
On the nose, this wine displays enticing aromas of red berries, such as ripe strawberries and cherries, accompanied by delicate floral notes of violets. There is also a subtle hint of earthiness, adding a touch of complexity to the bouquet.
The palate is equally impressive, with a silky texture and well-integrated tannins. The flavors of red fruits continue to shine, with additional nuances of blackcurrants and raspberries. There is a beautiful balance between the fruitiness and the acidity, providing a refreshing and lively character to the wine.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and refinement. This wine has the potential to age gracefully, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve over time.
