Domaine Michel Magnien Cote de Nuits Villages 2018 sku_2451978-1 Wine Advocate 100 points -This red is a harmonious blend from various plots of Pinot Noir from the small village of Brochon. Seriously fresh and lively with mostly dark red fruit and a dry chewy finesse to the tannins. In 2015 Michel stopped using new French oak, replacing them with terracotta amphora, giving a freshness & life to the wines that oak cannot provide.
