Domaine Michel Magnien et Fils, Coteaux Bourguignons Rouge, 2021

Domaine Michel Magnien et Fils Coteaux Bourguignons Rouge 2021 is a lively, fruit-driven Pinot Noir that brings the energy of the Côte de Nuits into a fresh and approachable style. While the appellation allows for broader sourcing and even blending with Gamay, this cuvée stays true to Pinot Noir and reflects Michel Magnien’s careful, quality-focused approach. It’s a modern Burgundy with a clear sense of place and plenty of drinking pleasure.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, vibrant red color that hints at its youthful character. The nose is packed with pure red berry aromas—think raspberry, wild strawberry, and a touch of freshly crushed fruit, almost as if the wine were bursting with juice. On the palate, it is supple, juicy, and refreshingly energetic, with crisp fruit, a light-to-medium body, and an easy, thirst-quenching freshness. The finish is clean and lively, making it a wine best enjoyed in its youth, though it should hold nicely over the next few years if kept well.

Production
This wine comes from the hillsides of Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, an area especially well suited to Pinot Noir thanks to its limestone-rich soils and cool climate. Michel Magnien chooses Pinot Noir exclusively for this cuvée and sources fruit from some of the region’s best sites, including parcels that are normally associated with village-level quality. The result is a careful, terroir-driven blend made to emphasize freshness, purity, and immediate drinkability.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine lightly chilled at around 13–14°C to highlight its freshness and bright fruit. It pairs well with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, and simple Burgundy-style fare, as well as casual dishes where a vibrant red is welcome. Decanting is not necessary, but a short aeration can help the wine open up if served young.
