Cot de Nuit Croix Violette Frédéric Manien 2019
Art. # 4286Côte de Nuits stretches for about twenty kilometers from Dijon to Corgoloin. The area represents a long narrow strip of vineyards, no wider than a kilometer, extending over 1500 hectares.
The Croix-Violette parcel is located in the northern part of the Gevrey Chambertin appellation, in Brochon, near the monastery of the same name. The soil is limestone-clay, dry and light, with a stony and draining subsoil.
A wonderful pairing with this wine would be a dish of lamb with herbs.

More about this product
Frederic Magnien
Frédéric Magnien is a new generation winemaker, born in 1969 in one of the most beautiful wine regions in Burgundy, he is the fifth generation winemaker of the Magnien family - combining his talent with the terroir of Côte d'Or. Heir to Michel Magnien, Frederick strives to grow wines of the highest quality by introducing the biodynamic method in viticulture in 2010. Biodynamic viticulture allows the plant to strengthen and recharge with energy thanks to natural forces, rather than working against nature. The high quality of Frédéric Magnien wine is due to the harmony between the natural elements - careful observation of the plants and listening to the soil.

Burgundy
In this region, red wines are produced from a single variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually differ in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex, and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its highly 'crushed' vineyards, and the general belief is that the smaller the vineyard area, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of just 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuits to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Côte de Nuits lies in the red wines - here, 95% of red wines are produced from the Pinot Noir grape. Naturally, some of the best, age-worthy, most exotic, and expensive wines are also found here. Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red, and 2% sparkling. The variety for white wine is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality ranges from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny, and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former traditionally age in small oak barrels, while the wines from Macon are usually lighter in character and correspondingly offer a good quality-to-price ratio. The red wines from Beaune do not possess the fame of their 'brothers' from Côte de Nuits, with exceptions being those from Pommard, Corton, and Volnay. Generally, they are lighter in style, but depending on the vintage, they can show potential that successfully rivals Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
