The 2023 vintage at Domaine Henri Magnien stands out as a rare combination of exceptional quality and abundant yields, a balance seldom achieved in Burgundy. Meticulous grape selection during harvest ensured that only the finest fruit was used. Benefiting from a favourable flowering period, the vines produced well-formed bunches with a notable number of berries. The resulting wines are defined by their harmony: soft tannins, vibrant acidity, and a well-integrated richness.
"A standout wine characterised by seamless integration of red berry fruit, bright acidity, and silky tannins. The palate is layered and expressive, delivering an impressive sense of balance and a stunning finish."
Our note
This vintage displays a marked shift toward dark red fruit and spiced profiles compared to 2022, with enhanced freshness and balance. Achieving perfect ripeness was crucial, as the domaine opted for destemming all fruit, avoiding the use of whole bunches. The wines, crafted entirely from the Magnien clone of Pinot Noir developed in 1850, exhibit a clear expression of terroir alongside their refined structure and vitality.

What the critics say:
"The 2023 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru hails from two parcels of 0.08 hectares, the only cuvee that comes from both the top and bottom of the vineyard. It matured in one-third new oak (five years ago it would have been entirely in new wood). This has a knockout nose with ebullient red fruit, crushed stone and a touch of pressed rose petals. Wonderful. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, beguiling symmetry and a sense of poise and power on the finish. What a magnificent Ruchottes from Charles Magnien."
