Côte de Nuits Croix-Violette Frederic Magnien 2019
The Côte de Nuits stretches some twenty kilometres from Dijon to Corglen. The area is a long narrow strip of vineyards, no more than a kilometre wide, stretching over 1 500 hectares.
The Croix-Violette parcel is located in the north of the Gevrey Chambertin appellation, in Brochon, near the eponymous monastery. The soil is limestone-clay, dry and light, the subsoil stony and draining.
A wonderful pairing with this wine would be a dish of lamb with herbs.

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.
