Domaine Henri Magnien

Estournelles St-Jacques 1er cru Gevrey-Chambertin 2023

Established in Gevrey-Chambertin in 1656, Domaine Henri Magnien is a historic estate now led by Charles Magnien, a 12th-generation winemaker and a rising star of the Côte de Nuits. The winery is known for its exclusive Pinot Magnien, a unique family selection dating back to 1850 that produces wines of exceptional concentration, structural depth, and spice. With eight hectares of vineyards including the prestigious Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru and Premier Crus Les Cazetiers, Lavaux Saint-Jacques, and Estournelles Saint-Jacques Charles focuses on a style that balances the traditional power of Gevrey-Chambertin with freshness and terroir-driven precision. The Estournelles St-Jacques 1er Cru reveals a high-toned profile of pomegranate, wild strawberry, and crushed rose. Aged 12 months in 25% new French oak, it is vertical and precise, delivering the signature density of the estate alongside vibrant acidity and finely chiseled tannins. This is pure elegance, offering a long, savory finish that captures the cool-climate tension of this prestigious site.
