2023 | Michel Magnien Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru | Burgundy Cuvee 1821 I tasted through a numberMagniens parcel was planted in 1953 and 1955, resulting in a wine with great richness and concentration. Forty percent whole clusters add sauvage aromas of spice to the ripe red and black fruit found on the nose and palate with medium weight and integrated tannins. This is a very pure expression of Charmes Chambertin thanks to its levage in a combination of used oak and clay jars.
