Frédéric Magnien farms his domaine under biodynamics, effectively magnifying the explosive power of his parcels in Charmes, some of them sustaining centenarian vines. The soil here is red, a thin layer tinged with iron over limestone rock. The smoky austerity of that earth seems to infuse this massive wine, slow to reveal itself, offering, at most, brisk and savory flavors of fruit skin that lengthen the wine’s tannins with gracious elegance. Grand and supple, this is a wine to wait on for a decade or more as its detailed expression begins to evolve.
