2022 FREDERIC MAGNIEN MARSANNAY Rouge SAINT JACQUES

Frédéric Magnien is a fifth-generation winemaker from Morey-Saint-Denis. 



Learning the craft from his father, Michel Magnien (of Domaine Michel



Magnien), Fred also traveled to hone his talents in other fine wine regions



before returning home and starting his own négociant domaine in his



native village.  He differentiates himself from other négociants in that he



works closely with partner growers throughout the growing season.  His



own teams tend these mostly older-vine vineyards according to organic



and biodynamic methods and harvest the grapes, ensuring quality from



field to bottle.  Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered and according to



the lunar calendar, with low added sulfites.
