Frederic Magnien Cotes de Nuits Villages Croix Violette

Aromas of violets, crushed stones, black raspberries. Mineral, suave; flavors of red berries, ripe red plums.

Magnien differentiates himself from other négociants in that he works closely with partner growers throughout the growing season, selecting only older-vine parcels cared for to his exacting standards. His own teams pick the grapes at harvest, a further qualitative step. The vineyards Magnien selects are either certified organic or in the process of conversion.

‘Croix Viollette’ is a small, southeast-facing plot surrounded by a stone wall, neighboring an active cloister (the Violet Cross) in the village of Brochon, next to Gevrey-Chambertin. The plot’s well-draining soils mix clay
and limestone with gravelly subsoils.
