Understanding Frederic Magnien, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, Les Ruchots, Burgundy
Implementing the principles of sustainable agriculture, Frédéric Magnien carefully nurtures the limestone-clay soils of the vineyard and encourages authentic terroir expression in the wine. The vinification process sees natural yeast fermentation and a restrained approach to oak ageing, allowing a balance of fruit intensity with the subtlety of its tannic structure and minerality. This "Les Ruchots" features dark cherry, raspberry and hints of spice complemented by floral accents and a delicate earthiness in a silky palate with careful integration of oak, enhancing the wine's complexity. This Premier Cru is notable for its refined structure and depth, promising an excellent capacity for ageing.
