CÔTEDENUITS

DOMAINE STÉPHANEMAGNIEN - MOREY ST. DENIS Stéphane Magnien’s small domaine of 4.5 hectares has long crafted traditional Chambolle-Musigny and Morey St. Denis from old vines and with minimal use of new oak. The Domaine has never used pesticides and the old vines give very low yields bringing concentration and flavour to the fruit. The wines have been good in the past but not outstanding. However, we feel Stéphane is finally stepping out of his father’s shadow and has started producing some beautiful wines from an enviable collection of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards over the last few vintages. His 2021s are cool and juicy, with a lovely purity of fruit and a great expression of terroir. This is Domaine on the up, and we’re sure Stéphane’s star is only set to rise.
