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

There is no new oak here, just 1 year old barrels that had previously housed Cazetiers. The vineyard lies to the north of the village, on the borders of Brochon where the soil is a little lighter. The wine itself has a lovely elegance and understated quality to it, which works well with the absence of new oak. Rather than power, it’s a wine of harmony and balance, energy and purity, perfectly framed by a well-defined but gentle structure. It’s a wonderfully classic example of the beauty of this vintage.
