Wine Spectator 93 at $120 (equal to or better than all Magnien’s premier crus, as well as Groffier’s $300 version):
Rich and velvety, offering black cherry, blackberry, violet, earth and iron flavors, this red feels open, with a light grain of tannins underneath. Ripe, balanced and long, with an aftertaste emphasizing the fruit. Best from 2028 through 2043.
Lots of other great press, too, but I kind of like what Harrods says:
This premier cru-quality red deserves to be enjoyed with charcuterie and roasted vegetables.
Since taking over the family estate of Domaine Michel Magnien in 1996, Frédéric Magnien has transformed the vineyard into 18 hectares of biodynamic viticulture and uses 325 clay jars balanced with traditional oak barrels to age each wine. The Gevrey-Chambertin Seuvrées Vieilles Vignes 2023 vintage is a full-bodied wine that benefits from some of the oldest vines first planted in 1942 – experience dark fruits and firm tannins upon every sip of this magnificently aged Burgundy.
This also has an impressive 93-point average rating on CellarTracker, again above many premier crus at five times the price.
