PINOT NOIR BOURGOGNE GRAND ORDINAIRE 2007, DOMAINE MICHEL MAGNIEN

TASTING NOTES

This superb wine from one of the village's leading producers and the excellent 2007 vintage manages to offer bright red fruit, fine silky tannins, refreshing acidity and a long finish that belies its humble appelation. We defy anyone to find a better Pinot Noir at this price from anywhere, let alone from some of the finest vineyards of Burgundy. Drinking beautifully now.

PRODUCER NOTES

Born in 1946, Michel Magnien is the 4th generation of winemakers from the Magnien family.
From a tender age, he worked in the 4 hectares of vineyards belonging to his father, Bernard Magnien. From 1967 to1991, Michel Magnien and his wife, Dominique acquired numerous plots of vines that they dedicated themselves to cultivating, tending, harvesting and making wine. In 1988 Michel Magnien took over his father's vineyards as a tenant farmer and continued to deliver the Bernard Magnien annual harvest to the Morey-Saint-Denis cooperative. In 1993, Frédéric Magnien joined the family business and persuaded his father that they should bottle the entire harvest themselves.
Today, 19 hectares of Grands Crus, Premiers Crus, Villages and regional appellation vines are grown on the Michel Magnien & Fils estate. The quality of Michel Magnien wines reflects the meticulous care he confers on his vineyards.
