Frédéric is a fifth-generation winemaker from Morey-Saint-Denis, and Burgundy is the family’s lifeblood. Learning the craft first from his father, Michel Magnien (of Domaine Michel Magnien), Fred also traveled to California and Australia to hone his talents before returning home and starting his own négociant domaine in his native village.
There’s no question that Magnien knows every nook and cranny of Burgundy by heart. As a child, he used these vineyards as his off-road bicycle course, riding through premier and grand cru plots. As a winemaker, Magnien still rides his bike through the fields to greet growers at first light; his are long-lasting partnerships based on trust and respect.
This is a beautiful alternative to Champagne. His Cremant de Bourgogne is made in the traditional method with a dosage of just 4 grams per litre, leaving it deliciously dry and kissed with bright, lemony acid. There is a touch of toast here complemented by red berry fruits. A delicious sparkling win
