Description
What kind of wine it is
Domaine Magnien Morey Saint Denis Grains Fins is a still red wine that elegantly expresses the character of Burgundy. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it stands out for its clear and refined aromatic profile. In the glass, it displays a ruby red colour and releases intense aromas of small red fruits. On the palate, it is enveloping, offering a harmonious sip centred on distinct notes of strawberry and currant. Its smooth structure makes it ideal for pairing with poultry, veal, game, and cheese boards.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis. The vineyards are rooted in a complex limestone subsoil of Jurassic origin, enriched with clay and gypsum that ensure balanced nourishment. This particular composition gives the wine superior definition and a compact flavour profile. The vines, trained using the Guyot method, have an average age of forty-five years. Domaine Stephane Magnien follows sustainable practices, excluding the use of chemical herbicides to preserve the integrity and natural balance of the plants.
How it is produced
Production begins with meticulous manual harvesting, followed by carefully managed maceration to extract colour and primary aromas. Fermentation takes place exclusively thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature, with careful management of extraction through punching down and pumping over. Ageing continues for twelve months in barrels, with a small percentage of new wood used to help integrate the structure. Finally, the wine is bottled without filtration, preserving its lively fruity expressiveness and characteristic smoothness.
History and Curiosities
The true essence of Burgundy is revealed in this Morey-Saint-Denis Grains Fins 2022, the result of four generations of expertise at Domaine Stephane Magnien. Produced from old vines aged 45 years on clay-limestone soils, this Pinot Noir is hand-harvested following sustainable practices. Vinification with indigenous yeasts and 12 months of ageing in barriques enhance its aromatic structure with rare elegance. Bottled without filtration, this red wine envelops the palate with softness and fresh notes of red fruits, offering hints of strawberry and currant.
