Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is excellent, delivering notes of orange rind, red berries, peonies, candied peel and plums. Medium to full-bodied, layered and charming, it's supple and perfumed, with a lively, nicely concentrated core of fruit and a seamless, elegant profile. This is one of Magnien's finest communal bottlings to date.

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from eight plots between 40 and 100 years old and includes 25% whole bunch. That stem addition is seamlessly integrated on the nose and allows the almost boisterous black cherry and raspberry scents to flourish. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, sweet and candied in style but judiciously spiced and very well structured on the long, saline finish. This is a stylish Gevrey-Chambertin.
