The soil of Les Argillières consists of limestone mixed with clay marl and contribites to the this wine’s perfume and finesse. Les Argillières shows red berries and floral aromas on the nose with an underpinning of minerals. Medium weight and fine tannins make for a more elegant village-level Chambolle. The wine is a pure expression of its terroir thanks to its élevage in a combination of used oak and clay jars.
Domaine Michel Magnien Description
Domaine Michel Magnien has evolved into a Burgundy producer of a singular style and philosophy from cellars located in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. In 1993, Frédéric Magnien persuaded his father Michel to begin domaine bottling. The domaine is now certified biodynamic by Demeter and the wines are produced without the use of new oak. The domaine’s 45 acres are spread across the villages of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne Romanée, with holdings in several premier cru and grand cru vineyards. These include the grand crus Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, and Charmes-Chambertin. Frédéric Magnien maintains an average vine age of 50 years. Chambolle-Musigny Les Argillières is a lieu-dit lying directly above and to the north of grand cru Le Musigny. The wines from Les Argillières tend to be very perfumed and finessed thanks to the soil consisting of active limestone mixed with clay.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A ripe style, this red offers plum, cherry and spice aromas and flavors aligned with a rich texture. Lively acidity keeps this focused, while chalky tannins add support. Balanced and lingers on the fruit-filled, spicy finish.
Burghound: 90 Points
Wonderfully fresh and expressive aromas are comprised of a lovely array of floral elements and plum. The utterly delicious and highly energetic lighter weight flavors also flash evident minerality on the detailed, moderately austere and refined finale. This could use more depth but it's very Chambolle in delivery.
