Product details
Domaine Michel Magnien's Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées 2021 is a compelling expression of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, crafted by Frédéric Magnien, who represents the fifth generation of this esteemed winemaking family. Situated in Morey-Saint-Denis, the domaine spans 45 acres across prestigious appellations, including Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne-Romanée. Certified biodynamic by Demeter, the estate emphasizes sustainable practices, utilizing a combination of used oak barrels and clay jars for aging to preserve the purity of the fruit and terroir.
The Les Seuvrées vineyard, a lieu-dit located just below the grand cru Charmes-Chambertin, is characterized by its clay-limestone soils interspersed with round stones. The 2021 vintage reveals classic Gevrey-Chambertin aromas of black fruit, licorice, violets, and spices, underpinned by an earthy nuance. On the palate, the wine offers a harmonious balance of richness and depth, attributed to the 50-year-old vines, with a smooth and creamy finish. This elegant Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast duck, game birds, or mushroom-based recipes, making it a versatile choice for refined dining experiences.
