Domaine Michel Magnien Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019 750ml










The 2019 Domaine Magnien Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most esteemed vineyards. Grown on limestone outcrops with thin, red-colored soils rich in marl and iron, the vines—some over a century old—produce grapes of remarkable depth and character.
This vintage presents a ruby red hue and offers aromas of red fruits on the nose. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced with soft tannins, culminating in a long, elegant finish. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, it pairs beautifully with dishes like spiced duckling, making it a versatile choice for fine dining.

Geographic description
In Burgundy dialect,"charmes" denotes old common land, cultivated and laying fallow, or fallow fields covered by hornbeam woods. The iron ore contained in the soil used to be transported to Langres for knife manufacture. This climat is said to be home to the oldest vines in the commune, planted in 1881.
Geological description
Vines grow on limestone outcrops covered in thin, red-coloured soils, containing marl, iron and stones, some of which are fairly sizeable. The rocky subsoil is highly resistant but fissured, allowing the vine roots to dig down deep, hence their surprising longevity. Certain plots can reach up to 100 years' of age.
Food & Wine Agreement
At table, it will be offered with a spice duckling.
