Charles Magnien is part of Burgundy’s new generation of great winemakers. In 2012 Charles took over the estate Domaine Henri Magnien. The family has been growing grapes in Burgundy since the 1600’s, over 42 small plots, mostly in the famous village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The new generation of Burgundy is leaning into organic and biodynamic vineyard practices. They are dedicated to reviving the soils that endured the strife of chemical farming from the previous generation.



Magnien sets himself apart from other producers in the area through vine selection. Instead of using generic clone vine material to plant their vineyards, Magnien has cultivated their own clone of Pinot Noir through Massale selection. Many of the family's 42 plots of old vines in Gevrey-Chambertin contain the ancient clone “Pinot Magnien.” The unique clone contributes complexity to the Magnien bottles that cannot be imitated by the competition. Massale selection is taking cuttings of a vine with desirable qualities and propagating them to plant their vineyards.

The main growing region of Burgundy spans from Dijon in the north through the Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune, Challonaise all the way through to Macconais. Chablis and Beaujolais too.
The primary varieties here are Chardonnay for white and Pinot Noir for red, you can also find Aligote and Gamay for a little variety.
Burgundy is a treasure chest of tiny vineyards with unique soil compositions and exposures that grant tiny plots the best conditions. The best red and white Burgundy rewards with time in The Cellar.

The wines of Puligny-Montrachet are world-renowned, offering exceptional aromatic complexity and wonderful finesse.
