Frédéric Magnien Bourgogne Graviers Pinot Noir 2020
Of all our Burgundy producers, Frédéric Magnien, with his impressive selection of historic premier cru and grand cru terroirs, offers the most complete experience for those passionate about Burgundy wines. Cool, red-fruit flavors and smooth tannins. Sourced from a single vineyard in Chambolle-Musigny called ‘Graviers,’ not far from villages-level vineyard ‘Les Herbues.’ Vines 40+ years old. Pinot Noir here comes with a refined, mineral edge

Blind tasting no4. Should have let this decant for awhile first because it was super reduced - sulfur and eggs. Honestly would NEVER have guessed burgundy or Pinot noir. Just so saturated and dense. Probably missed some of the common flavors because it was still fresh. Slightly cloudy opaque purple with little rim variation. Heavily extracted. Bone dry, medium tannins, medium acids. Red berries and chalk with a medium to full body. As it opened we got compost and olives. Nothing to indicate Pinot though…
