Frederic Magnien

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

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.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
