Discovering the Côte de Nuits: A Village Masterpiece

The MAGNIEN MICHEL COTE DE NUITS VILLAGES RGE ROUGE stands as a testament to the quality found in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. Produced by the highly respected Domaine Michel Magnien, this Pinot Noir offers the structure and elegance expected from this prestigious slope, but at the accessible 'Village' level. The estate is certified biodynamic, ensuring the ancient, mineral-rich Jurassic soils are clearly reflected in the wine's purity and depth.

Tasting Profile (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: A radiant, deep ruby colour, reflecting its intensity.
• Aroma: An expressive nose of vibrant red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and dark berries, developing into classic notes of savoury earth, subtle vanilla, and warming spice.
• Taste: Silky and seamless on the palate. The tannins are fine-grained and well-integrated, balanced by a characteristic freshness. The finish is persistent and complex-a true expression of fine Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir.

Food Pairing & Service

A superb match for classic British and European cuisine. Serve lightly chilled, between 15-17°C, to bring out the aromatic complexity.

• Recommended Pairings: Pot-Roasted Game (Pheasant, Partridge), Beef Wellington, Coq au Vin, Mature English Cheeses.
• Ageing Potential: Excellent structure for immediate enjoyment, but will develop gracefully over 5 to 10 years.
