Gevrey-Chambertin: Frédéric Magnien 'Vieilles Vignes' 2021
Free next day delivery when you spend £125
From 55+ year-old vines across 4 plots on limestone-dominated soils, this classic Gevrey’ shows an earthy complexity with firm but approachable tannins. It is a superb example of the appellation, forward enough to be drunk with great pleasure in the short term but sturdy enough for successful cellaring. Certified organic.
From limestone-clay soils over well-drained gravel beds from the lieu-dits of Clos Prieur-Bas, Les Epointures, Champ-Chenys, and Les Seuvrées - these soils give good structure to the finished wine.
