With the oldest records dating back to 1220, it took until 1872 for Bouchard to finally acquire all of the parcels of this 3.36ha Beaune monopole. Depending on the vintage not all the fruit is totally destemmed and the wine is matured in French oak for 12 months with 30-40% new wood. Always well priced and approachable in its youth it will also reward 5-10 years cellaring.

HARTFORD WINES Hartford Court Land's Edge Vineyards Pinot Noir, Sonoma County

Domaine Henri Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes The Vieilles Vignes, or old vines, are from those mich sought-after 70 to 100-year-old vines from which the Massal Selection cuttings, named Pinot Magnien, are taken. Expect a juicy, generous Gevrey-Chambertin Villages rogue showing ripe red fruit, great balance, a medium-body and a lengthy finish. All much like the younger Villages equivalent bottling. However, youll find more depth, complexity and concentration here as expected from an old vines selection. '...this is an exciting emerging domaine with which consumers are warmly advised to acquaint themselves'- Wine Advocate Shop Henri Magnien >

DOMAINE HENRI MAGNIEN Gevrey Chambertin Champerrier , Gevrey-Chambertin

Deep, vibrant red. Red cherries with a citric tartness that is very appealing, along with minerals and a touch of anise. A little wildness. Quite savoury. The palate fans out on the finish and the wine is very persistent. A little oak in support. Very focussed and layered for the vintage.

DOMAINE HENRI MAGNIEN 1er Cru La Coutiere, Aloxe-Corton

Here too there is a similar mentholated nose on the spiced plum, dark cherry and warm earth-suffused aromas that are trimmed in enough wood to mention. The delicious and energetic middle weight plus flavors display focused power on the moderately austere finish where a touch of dryness slowly emerges. I suspect that this will round out in time as the dryness is subtle. Drink 2028+.
