Marsannay is the newest AOC in Burgundy, created in 1987. Located immediately south of Dijon, it is part of the prestigious Côte de Nuits.

The "Mogottes" climat is a Domaine Michel Magnien Monopole - this means the entire vineyard parcel belongs to the Domaine making its production, a unique, rare wine.

Mogottes has a dark brown limestone, clay and mark soil which gives a powerful yet elegant wine with fine freshness and vitality.

Pair this with duck.

In the Press

“Whiffs of warm earth and herbal tea can be found on the red and dark cherry-scented nose. There is a slightly finer texture to the medium weight flavors that also flash both good salinity and delineation before concluding in a youthfully austere and nicely balanced finale.” (Allen Meadows, burghound.com tasted 10 Jan 2021)

Burgundy, France

Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is small in size, the Côte d'Or has about 8000 hectares under vine, yet its influence is immense. It is home to some of the best known and most expensive wines in the world. Look in the right places and there is great quality and superb value to be found.

The two major grapes are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though you can find small pockets of well-made Aligoté.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is the holy grail grape for many winemakers, it is a difficult mistress, but when made well it shines.

Young Pinot Noir has delicious aromas of cherries, raspberries, and strawberries. With age it develops complexity and mystery. Older wines have the capacity to become a gamey style of wine, and the best examples show autumnal notes of truffles, mushrooms, and forest floor.

Frédéric Magnien, Domaine Michel Magnien

Frédéric Magnien is the fifth generation to run the family estate. He took over in 1996 and expanded the domaine from 4 to 18 hectares and converted the estate to biodynamics in 2010.

Frédéric likes to age his wines in clay jars, oak barrels, and terracotta amphorae. His aim is to have approximately half of each wine aged in barrel and half in the more neutral clay vessels.
