Frédéric Magnien’s portfolio is extensive—60 red wines and 24 whites from various appellations from Grand Cru to Premier Cru vineyards.

Tasting Notes

BH93–95
This is impressively refined with excellent breadth to the pure and elegant aromas that display a lovely range of spice elements along with a cool mélange of red and dark berry fruit and stone notes. The rich, supple and mouth coating big-bodied flavors possess very good phenolic maturity as the firm tannins are pushed to the background by the abundant dry extract, all wrapped in a highly complex, dusty and wonderfully long finish. Range: 93-95
WA92–94+
The 2010 Chambertin-Clos de Beze is a big wine bursting with dark blue and black fruit, violets, mint and licorice. The Beze fleshes out in all directions, showing remarkable depth and fullness through to a finish supported by firm yet polished tannins. This is another impressive showing. Anticipated maturity:2020-2030. Range: 92-94+
