- See the comments for Domaine Michel Magnien above for importer information and vintage comments. Note also that for his 2005 négociant wines, Magnien has simplified them somewhat by adopting certain cuvée names like Coeur des Roches and issuing a number of old vines offerings at the villages level, the latter of which are particularly interesting. And in a few cases, he has replaced the term Vieilles Vignes with the name of a cuvée. A pungent and exceptionally intense nose that is both detailed and concentrated displays earthy aromas of ripe dark berry fruit and a distinct animale component read more...that gives way to penetrating, rich, fresh and superbly balanced flavors that are both powerful and blessed with huge dry extract. This is a seriously impressive effort that is easily of grand cru quality. Take a close look at this one. (hide)
