法國權威Bettane and Desseauve將Maison Magnien列為4星,甚至超越了他父親的酒莊,是對其品質的肯定。酒評專家都認為 Maison Frederic Magnien & Domaine Michel Magnien 之間品質的差別幾乎不存在。
Producer note: See the comments for Domaine Michel Magnien above for importer information and vintage comments. Note also that for his 2005 négociant wines, Magnien has simplified them somewhat by adopting certain cuvée names like Coeur des Roches and issuing a number of old vines offerings at the villages level, the latter of which are particularly interesting. And in a few cases, he has replaced the term Vieilles Vignes with the name of a cuvée.
Tasting note: Reduction. The round yet delineated and intense flavors are supple and rather forward on the mid-palate but this tightens up quickly on the structured and serious finish. This is very Gevrey in character and packs good punch and finishing depth even if it’s a bit awkward today.
