2005 Frédéric Magnien Pinot Noir
12.5% alc., $36. Imported by North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley,
CA.
·
This is an earthy wine from start to finish. Darker fruits are predominant but play second fiddle to
the hearty mushroom, musk and meaty flavors. Tannins are weighty but not over the top.

2005 Maison Frederic Magnien Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Ruchots
13% alc., $75.
·
Heady and
sweet Pinot fruit with a touch of herbs, oak and barnyard. Plenty of oak backbone and drying tannins on
the finish will need time to resolve.

2002 Frédéric Magnien Premier Cru Chambolle-Musigny Amoureuses
13.5% alc.. $431 (current price).
Imported by Premier Cru, Emeryville, CA. Unfiltered.
·
Dark garnet color in the glass. Complex nose offering
scents of black cherry, dried herbs, earthy flora, and floral bouquet increasing in grandeur over time in the
glass. Mid weight plus in concentration, with an intense attack of boysenberry, blackberry and cassis fruit
flavors and subtle citrus, earth and green herbal threads in the background. Silky in the mouth, with merged
tannins and a very lengthy finish. Drink now to 2022.
Score: Very Good.
