Bourgogne Côte d'Or "Fééric" Frederic Magnien 2020
The Bourgogne Rouge comes from regional vineyards located in the Côte de Nuits, planted by Frédéric Mannien's grandfather, with an average vine age of 50 years. In the cuvée about 20% are whole clusters with the bunches. The wine is vinified half is concrete tanks and half used burgundy barrels.
The Bourgogne Rouge shows a bright and fresh red fruit character with hints of earth and spice. The 50 year old vines add weight and richness to this otherwise fresh Burgundy wine, unadulterated with the flavour of spicy oak. This is a pure expression of red Burgundy from grapes grown in a biodynamic way.

More about this product
Frederic Magnien
Frédéric Magnien is a new generation winemaker, born in 1969 in one of the most beautiful wine regions in Burgundy, he is the fifth generation winemaker of the Magnien family - combining his talent with the terroir of Côte d'Or. Heir to Michel Magnien, Frederick strives to grow wines of the highest quality by introducing the biodynamic method in viticulture in 2010. Biodynamic viticulture allows the plant to strengthen and recharge with energy thanks to natural forces, rather than working against nature. The high quality of Frédéric Magnien wine is due to the harmony between the natural elements - careful observation of the plants and listening to the soil.

Burgundy
In this area, red wines are produced from one variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually vary in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its small vineyards and it is generally believed that the smaller the area of the vineyard, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of only 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuit to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Cotê de Nuits is in the red wines - 95% of Pinot Noir grapes are produced here. Of course, here are some of the best, able to age, the most exotic and expensive wines. The Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red wine and 2% sparkling wine. The white wine variety is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality varies from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former are traditionally aged in small oak barrels, while Macon wines are usually lighter in character and have a good value for money. The red wines from Beaune do not have the fame of their "brothers" from Côte de Nuit, with exceptions here are those who come from Pomard, Corton and Volney. In general, they are lighter in style, but depending on the harvest they can show potential that successfully competes with the Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
