  • Craft + Estate Presents
    CRAFT + ESTATE PRESENTS Location: Morey-Saint-Denis Grape Variety: Pinot Noir Domaine Michel Magnien has evolved into a Burgundy producer of a singular style and philosophy in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. Michel Magnien was born in 1946 and worked alongside his father Bernard from an early age. The Magniens sold their grapes to the local cooperative until 1993 when his son Frédéric joined the family business and persuaded his father to bottle the entire harvest themselves. Frédéric Magnien began experimenting with organic practices in the late 1990s and the entire production was certified biodynamic by Demeter in 2015. BIODYNAMIC VITICULTURE In both organic and biodynamic viticulture, no chemical inputs sprays and compost in minute doses, much like homeopathic remedies are used in the vineyard. In organic viticulture, chemicals such as are for humans. Timely applications revitalize the soil and stimulate herbicides and pesticides are forbidden. The philosophy behind root growth, enhance the development of microorganisms and humus biodynamic methods is to revive the soils through holistic means. formation, and aid in photosynthetic activity. Biodynamics strengthens the vitality and resistance of plants by The cosmic phase of biodynamic viticulture allows the plant to improving the natural exchanges between soil and the roots, and strengthen and to energize itself thanks to natural force rather than between sky and the plant. This is accomplished in two ways: the working against nature. The moon strongly influences the way sap use of specific preparations in the vineyard and the consideration runs through the vine and brings rhythm to each step of Frédéric’s of moon phases.

  • PRESS REVIEW Vintage 2017
    PRESS REVIEW Vintage 2017 January 2020 Vinous - Stephen Tanzer 2017 CHABLIS Antonio Galloni The 2017 Chablis is a silky, perfumed and open-knit wine with lovely depth to play off the lifted floral aromatics. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper add brilliance to this racy, polished Chablis. 90 The 2017 Chablis Les Lys 1er Cru is powerful, dense and savory with lots of energy. Savory herbs, dried flowers and lemon peel come together in a Chablis that is bright, punchy and full of character. The 2017 is a bit hearty and rough around the edges, but it certainly isn't lacking in depth or intensity. 90 The 2017 Chablis Les Vaillons 1er Cru is resonant and super-expressive. Lemon confit, almond, dried herbs, crushed flowers and mint come together in an attractive, nuanced Chablis that will drink well right out of the gate. The finish dries out just a touch. Otherwise, the 2017 is nicely done. 90 The 2017 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is soft, open-knit and expressive, with no hard edges and plenty of immediacy. Bright citrus and floral character adds lift. There is not a ton of complexity here, but the 2017 makes up for that with its creamy, inviting personality. Hints of orange peel and white flowers linger nicely on the close. 90 The 2017 Chablis Les Vaucopins 1er Cru is bright, precise and lifted. Floral, citrus and spice notes are nicely delineated. There is good energy and resonance here, but ultimately, the Vaucopins feels a bit compact, especially in the mid-palate. 89 The 2017 Chablis Les Blanchots Grand Cru is soft, precise and understated.

  • VINTAGE 2018 LAROZE DE DROUHIN Jasper Morris - January 2020
    VINTAGE 2018 LAROZE DE DROUHIN Jasper Morris - January 2020 Ce que la presse en pense… THE TEAM PICKED THE DOMAINE WINES BETWEEN 1ST AND 8TH SEPTEMBER, THEN FOLLOWED ON WITH THE NÉGOCIANT CUVÉES (LABELLED LAROZE DE DROUHIN) UNTIL 12TH SEPTEMBER WHEN THE MOULIN-À-VENT GRAPES, A NEW CONTRACT THIS YEAR, WERE BROUGHT IN. THERE IS ALSO A NEW NÉGOCIANT CUVÉES OF MARSANNAY LONGEROIES THIS YEAR. I WAS A LITTLE PUZZLED DURING THE TASTING WHICH WAS FROM PREPARED SAMPLES RATHER THAN DIRECT FROM BARREL. IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO TELL IF THE SAMPLES LACKS A LITTLE FRESHNESS OR WHETHER THE WARMTH OF THE GROWING SEASON HAS SLIGHTLY COOKED THE FRUIT. IT WAS NOT ALWAYS SURE ABOUT WHICH WAY TO CALL IT WITH THE LAROZE DE DROUHIN AND DROUHIN-LAROZE SAMPLES, SO I MAY HAVE BEEN MORE SEVERE IN MY SCORES THAN THE WINES DESERVE. IF THE WINES FRESHEN UP BY THE TIME THEY ARE BOTTLED, THEY WILL MERIT A BETTER APPRECIATION. WHITE 2018, BOURGOGNE CÔTE D’OR CHARDONNAY, LAROZE DE DROUHIN 86 From two vignerons in Brochon and Fixin. Fermentation starts in tank and finishes in barrel, bottled in July. Fullish lemon and lime colour, very good acidity, lively, enough weight and some character. Finishes on lemon and lime-blossom. Tasted: November 2019 RED 2018, MOULIN-A-VENT, LAROZE DE DROUHIN 85 This new cuvee consists of barrels, picked on 12th September, and vinified as whole bunches. Possibly the picking date was a little late as the fruit lacks freshness and there are tough tannins behind. Nothing the proviso that this was but a single snapshot of a new wine, I have to say that I did not get on with it.

  • Domaine Fourrier
    Domaine Fourrier The Domaine Fourrier (previously known as Pernot-Fourrier) has a long history in Gevrey Chambertin extending over four genera- tions and owns 9 hectares of vineyards spread amongst the communes of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St.-Denis, Chambolle-Musig- ny and Vougeot, scattered up and down the slopes of the Côte d’Or and ranging from village to Grand Cru level. Jean-Marie Fourrier, current proprietor, burst on the Burgundian scene by wisely combining the traditions of his father and uncle (using, for example, vines of a minimum 30 years of age for the estate bottlings), his experience gained while working with Henri Jayer and the Domaine Drouhin (in Oregon), and his own clear sense of style. Ever since his ascension, the wines of Domaine Fourrier have garnered critical acclaim. He now works the domaine with the assistance of his sister, Isabelle, and his wife, Vicki. Viticulture: • Farming: Lutte Raisonnée • Treatments: Synthetic fungicides and insecticides applied only when absolutely necessary. No herbicide and no chemical fertilizers. • Ploughing: Annual ploughing to promote soil health • Soils: Limestone-clay • Vines: Average age is 50-70 years, wines from any vines less than 30 years old are sold to négociants. All plantings are car- ried out via Selection Massale and there are no modern clones in any of the domaine’s vineyards. • Yields: Severe winter pruning, extensive debudding, no green harvestig, no deleafing • Harvest: Entirely Manual • Purchasing: All wines from the Domaine Fourrier imported by Rosenthal Wine Merchant come entirely from estate fruit. Vinification: Aging: • Fermentation: Following a natural 3-4 day pre-fermentation • Élevage: Élevage lasts 24-months, with all wines, from re- cold soak, wines ferment spontaneously in stainless-steel tanks gional level to grand cru, seeing their second winter in cask.

  • Joseph Drouh Hin Cote De Nuits-Villages 2 2012
    Joseph Drouhhin Cote de Nuits -Villages 20122 Grape Variety : Pinot Noir. Vineyard Site: This wine is an assemblage of villagess from the southern end of the Côte de Nuits: Corgoloin, Comblanchien, Premeaux, BBrochon, Couchey. History & tradition: The name "Côte de Nuits" comes fromm the town of Nuits -Saint-Georges, like Beaune, the capital of its own Côte (orr slope). Soil: Clay and limestone. Viticulture Plantation density: 10,000 vinestocks/ha in order to extraact as much as possible from the terroir and limit the production of each vine stockk. Pruning: Guyot. Yield: 46 hl/ha - purposely low, in order for the grapes to reveal every nuance of the terroir. Grape Supply: Grapes and must provided by regular supply partners. Region: The Côte de Nuits (French pronunciattion: [kot.də.nɥi]) is a French wine region located in the nortthern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is at the heartt of the Burgundy wine region. It extends from Dijon to just soouth of Nuits -Saint- Georges, which gives its name to the ddistrict and is the regional center. Though some white and rosé wwines are produced in the region, the Côte de Nuits is most famoous for reds made from pinot noir. The Côte de Nuits covers foourteen communes. Six produce grand cru wines, in the centraal district between Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-GGeorges, with four lesser villages either side. The Grand Crus off the Cote de Nuits are some of the smallest apppellations in France, less than a hectare in the case of La Roomanée. "Vignobles cotes de nuuits- fr" by DalGobboM¿!i? - Own work.
