This clean, ripe Burgundy captures the cool scents of the forest above the Cote d’Or. Frederic Magnien blends it from his parcels in the Cote de Nuits, the vines averaging 50 years of age. He includes 20 percent of the whole clusters in the fermentation, then ages half of the wine in concrete, half in used barrels. It feels juicy and complete, with sweet red fruits and earthy undertones, a sleek Bourgogne rouge that could stand in for a village-level wine.
