2017 Chambolle-Musigny Frédéric Magnien

Frédéric Magnien - Chambolle-Musigny
Vineyard
Frédéric Magnien is part of the 5th generation of a large family of winegrowers. He learned the basics of the profession from his father. Seeking to deepen his knowledge, he followed training in the United States alongside Josh Jensen, at Domaine Calera and in Australia with Garry Farr at Domaine Bannockburn Vineyard. He began taking part in the management of Domaine Michel Magnien in 1993. At the same time, he continued his studies until obtaining a diploma in Wine Technician from the University of Burgundy. If previously the harvest was sold to a cooperative, he decided to produce the wine within the property. He also ensures the purity of his wines by not using any chemical products in his production.
