WINE DESCRIPTION
Frédéric Magnien, a fifth-generation winemaker from Burgundy, brings a modern touch to traditional winemaking with his Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Les Ruchots. This wine, originating from the highly esteemed 'Les Ruchots' vineyard, is located just below the Grand Cru 'Clos de Tart', in a region celebrated for producing some of Burgundy's most compelling Pinot Noirs. Magnien's approach, focusing on expressing the unique characteristics of each climat, ensures that Les Ruchots showcases the quintessence of its terroir. The vineyard's prime location, combined with Magnien’s practice of aging the wine in carefully selected French oak barrels, results in a Pinot Noir that is both complex and elegantly structured.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Frédéric Magnien Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Les Ruchots presents a captivating ruby hue, deep and luminous.The nose is a sophisticated tapestry of aromas: ripe red cherries and raspberries entwine with subtle earthy notes, underlain by a refined oaky nuance that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, the wine unfolds with grace and complexity. Layers of red and black fruits, a hint of spice, and a touch of forest floor are beautifully balanced with silky tannins and a vibrant acidity. The wine's texture is smooth, almost velvety, leading to a persistent, nuanced finish that leaves a lasting impression of the elegance and richness that Morey-Saint-Denis can offer. This Premier Cru is a testament to Magnien’s skill in creating a wine that is both expressive of its origin and captivating in its own right.
