Frederic Magnien 2022 Bourgogne Rouge

Frédéric Magnien is a fifth-generation winemaker from Morey-Saint-Denis.
Learning the craft from his father, Michel Magnien (of Domaine Michel
Magnien), Fred also traveled to hone his talents in other fine wine regions
before returning home and starting his own négociant domaine in his
native village. He differentiates himself from other négociants in that he
works closely with partner growers throughout the growing season. His
own teams tend these mostly older-vine vineyards according to organic
and biodynamic methods and harvest the grapes, ensuring quality from
field to bottle. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered and according to
the lunar calendar, with low added sulfites.WINERY: Maison Frédéric Magnien
