Introduced through his good friend Pierre Duroché, Magnien’s style of wines is nearer to Dugat-Py, in terms of richness, power and density. The domaine owns some prime sites in the north west quadrant of Gevrey, an area known locally as the Côte Saint-Jacques, including holdings in Lavaut and Estournelles and also a great strip running the length of Cazetiers, known as the “Le Petit Chambertin” because it has the same combination of soil types.
Charles is also very particular about oak – choosing his own wood, exclusively now from the forests of Fontainbleu and Chatillons, and giving to his preferred tonneliere Chauvin. He finds the different forests favour different cuvées and that it is not so much the percentage of new oak but rather the type of wood and level of toast that is most important.

What the critics say:
"A slightly denser purple colour. The nose is floral as well as having a deep raspberry fruit. There is a beautifully pure fruit with both depth and charm, with a fine thread of mineral acidity running through the middle. This has been finely crafted and will give pleasure from the medium term. Drink from 2026-2030."
"A distinctly cool nose combines notes of ultra-fresh and bright red currant, raspberry and plenty of Gevrey style earth nuances. The delicious medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the youthfully austere, serious, focused and sneaky long finish. This is also very much worth consideration. **Outstanding, Top Value** "
"Mid cherry. Bright red cherries and strawberries. Big, firm structure, with a slightly ferrous note but lots of freshness and zip. Gevrey for the ages."
