Description
What kind of wine it is
The Clos St Denis Grand Cru by Stephane Magnien is a red wine that embodies the essence of Pinot Noir in Burgundy. Originating from the prestigious Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, it stands out for its elegant structure and remarkable concentration. The deep bouquet introduces a sip of extreme precision, characterised by a vibrant vinous core, chiselled aromas and a long persistence. Its complex texture pairs beautifully with structured first courses, meat mains, game and mature cheeses, offering its best after a brief period of aeration.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Morey-Saint-Denis, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. The old vines are cultivated using the Guyot system, following sustainable farming practices that exclude the use of herbicides and involve regular ploughing of the soil. The roots explore a limestone subsoil of Jurassic origin, enriched with clay and marl, which gives the wine a natural tension and precision on the palate. The meticulous manual selection of the bunches ensures a profile of great finesse, with a marked predisposition for long ageing.
How it is produced
After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo maceration for several days. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature, through carefully managed pumping over and punching down for balanced aromatic extraction. Maturation continues for a period ranging from twelve to eighteen months in barrels, with limited use of new wood to preserve the purity of the varietal. After an initial settling, the wine rests for a few months in stainless steel to clarify naturally, and is finally bottled without filtration or fining.
History and Curiosities
The Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2022 from Domaine Stephane Magnien expresses the authentic soul of Burgundy, originating from 45-year-old Pinot Noir vines cultivated organically. Traditional vinification enhances the terroir thanks to the use of indigenous yeasts and meticulous manual care. After maturing for 12-18 months in oak barrels and a brief period of refinement in steel, the wine is bottled without fining or filtration. This results in a red wine of profound elegance, capable of offering a complex and memorable sensory experience.
