2024 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers, Domaine Henri Magnien

This is very much Charles’ signature wine, being his most significant holding and featuring a number of different parcels that cover all of the vineyard’s complex soil types. It also extends out from his winery and is the kind of back garden we all dream of! A large proportion of his vines are now almost 100 years old and produce consistently compact intensely flavoured, small-berried bunches that bring a mesmerizingly easy concentration to the wine. This ’24 is weighty and substantial, yet very complete and complex with drawn out flavours and excellent persistence. It’s a delight. Drink from 2035
