2020 Henri Magnien Gevrey Chambertin

Here too the expressive nose is fresh and bright with its array of slightly more deeply pitched aromas of dark currant, warm earth and sauvage hints. The rich, concentrated and delicious medium-bodied flavors possess good underlying tension while displaying only a touch of rusticity on the lingering finish. This could use a bit more depth, but the structure is there such that this should age well.  Burghound 89-91 Outstanding!

The fruit comes from 7 plots mostly on the lower slopes and up to 39 years old. Fine vibrant mid purple, sturdy too, but this time the fruit comes across a little fresher. Once again there is some fairly powerful structure here in dark raspberry mode, just a little bit savoury to finish, but notably longer than the Bourgogne. Tasted: November 2021  Jasper Morris 89-91

Concentrated and perfumed, Magnien's 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village bursts with aromas of peonies, wild berries, orange rind and loamy soil. Medium-bodied, bright and perfumed, with melting tannins and a saline finish, it will drink well on release.  William Kelley 90
