DESCRIPTION
The "Magma" cuvée represents the most powerful and structured side of Micro Winerie, referring to the intensity of the terroir (Clos de la Molénie) and the concentrated material. This wine is designed as a wine for aging, respecting the structure of great Bordeaux wines while adopting the estate's minimalist and organic approach.
This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot comes from manual harvests and organic farming. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels (proportions of new wood not specified, but the aim is to integrate the tannins) which brings vanilla and toasted notes. The wine is then bottled unfiltered, for a raw and concentrated expression.
Magma 2022 is a deep, full-bodied red wine. It offers complex notes of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), tobacco, and leather. The palate is powerful and structured by the Cabernet Sauvignon, with tannins that are already well-integrated but promise excellent evolution over several years. It is the ideal wine for winter gastronomy, pairing perfectly with grilled beef or game.
REGION
Burgundy
France
Burgundy, in eastern France, is one of the most iconic wine regions in the world, famous for its elegant, fine and complex wines. Its semi continental climate, with sharply contrasting seasons, and its clay and limestone soils rich in minerals, offer an exceptional terroir for its two leading grapes: Pinot Noir for reds and Chardonnay for whites. Alongside them, lesser known varieties such as Gamay and Aligoté add to the diversity of the vineyard.
The vineyard stretches from Chablis in the north, known for its taut, mineral whites, to the Mâconnais further south, which offers approachable, generous wines. In between, the Côte de Nuits is the kingdom of great reds, while the Côte de Beaune excels in both reds and whites. The Côte Chalonnaise completes the picture with wines that offer great value for pleasure.
Recommended for you:
A very serious wine with a lot of structure, like a great classic Bordeaux but with a modern approach. The tannins are present but elegant. Perfect with a nice rib of beef!
