Frederic Magnien 2004 Ruchots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)

  1. $67
A very complete wine, with all the elements in their right places. Of all the Morey Saint-Denis premier crus that Frédéric Magnien has released in 2004, this seems the most successful, keeping extraction and new wood in their place, emphasizing instead the beautiful fruits and freshness.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)

Frederic Magnien 2004 Charmes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)

  1. $87
Delicious ripe fruit, sweet tannins and light, fresh acidity: All the elements are here for a wine that will be a delight to drink in 3–4 years. There are rounded red fruit flavors, along with a core of dry tannins.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)

Frederic Magnien 2004 Pinot Noir (Chambertin Clos de Bèze)

  1. $178
A wine that hints at the power of a Gevrey grand cru vineyard, but mainly exhibits the softer side. But there is an element of solid tannin before you get to the Pinot Noir delicacy that continues on to the finish.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)

Frederic Magnien 2004 Larrets Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)

  • Online Exclusive
A rare white wine from Morey-Saint-Denis, this is full and rich with lively acidity and green pear flavors. Vanilla and ripeness give it body and complexity, while the crispness gives it a lift.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)

Frederic Magnien 2004 Clos Baulet Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)

  1. $67
With its great black fruits, this is a big wine that shows new wood and an edge of tarry flavors. It’s tough now, solid and compacted. The fruits are dark and heavy, brooding, demanding attention and time.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)

Frederic Magnien 2004 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)

  1. $123
Densely structured, this wine has rich, polished fruit but rough tannins, a curious combination. The wood element is very obvious here, which spoils the already delicious black fruit flavor. Give it time, perhaps.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)

Frederic Magnien 2005 Montmains Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $42
An attractive, fresh wine with citrus flavors, a touch of wood and a light, mineral character. It is crisp but offers a rounded, soft finish.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)

Frederic Magnien 2004 Longecourts Vieille Vigne Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)

  1. $40
This wine opens to red fruits and soft tannins in the mouth. It’s all about fruit, in fact—a juicy, fresh and mouth-filling fruit salad.  — R.V.  (3/1/2007)
