Product details

Domaine Michel Magnien Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2011 is an exceptional Burgundy expression from the historic Domaine Michel Magnien, located in Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy, France. The celebrated Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard takes its name from the old Burgundian word “charmes,” referring to former common lands that were cultivated and later covered by hornbeam forests. This remarkable site features limestone outcrops layered with thin red soils rich in marl, iron, and stone, creating ideal conditions for deeply rooted vines. Some parcels here date back more than a century, with vines capable of drawing remarkable complexity from the fractured rocky subsoil. Through careful vineyard stewardship and meticulous craftsmanship, Domaine Michel Magnien captures the authenticity and depth of this renowned terroir, producing a refined and age-worthy expression that reflects both heritage and place.

The tasting experience reveals layered aromas of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, and dark berry fruit, accompanied by subtle floral notes and delicate earthy nuances. On the palate, the texture is elegant yet structured, with vibrant fruit flavors unfolding alongside refined tannins and lively acidity. Hints of spice and mineral complexity add depth through the mid-palate, while the overall balance remains graceful and precise. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving a lingering impression of red fruit and terroir-driven character. This distinguished Burgundy pairs beautifully with refined cuisine such as roast duck, especially spice-accented duckling, allowing its layered complexity and elegant structure to shine.
