Collection: Domaine Henri Magnien

A recent addition to our Burgundy Portfolio and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Charles as he pushes further forward into the front rank of Gevrey Chambertin growers. Considered one of the rising stars of Burgundy, his estate is blessed with old vines of Pinot Noir, some of which are centenarians, bringing spice and power to his wines.

Guided by the capable hands of Charles Magnien, Domaine Henri Magnien owns prized vineyard plots in Gevrey’s esteemed Cotes St Jacques. These plots, including Lavaut, Estournelles, and the renowned “Le Petit Chambertin” strip in Cazetiers, represent some of Gevrey’s finest terroirs and the wines Charles produces here are a real treat for Burgundy lovers.

Charles is also very particular about oak – choosing his own wood, exclusively now from the forests of Fontainbleu and Chatillons, and giving to his preferred tonneliere Chauvin. He finds the different forests favour different cuvées and that it is not so much the percentage of new oak but rather the type of wood and level of toast that is most important.
