Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru 'La Coutière', Domaine Henri Magnien, 2024

Est. delivery in 2027

"Silky red berry fruit opens the palate, layered with subtle hints of earth and spice. Firm, structured tannins give grip without overpowering, while a bright, persistent finish makes this both approachable now and built to age gracefully."
Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager

Domaine Henri Magnien continues to prove why Charles Magnien is firmly established as one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s rising stars. The 2024 vintage is a clear success here, with exceptional definition between cuvées and a masterclass in terroir expression.

The classics shine as ever: Cazetiers and Lavaux St-Jacques deliver depth, structure, and serious ageing potential, while Estournelles St-Jacques offers a more lifted, elegant expression. But the real curiosity is Gevrey-Chambertin XV – a one-off bottling born from reduced yields, blending fruit from 15 different lieux-dits into a remarkably coherent and charming whole. It’s not a style we’ll see again, and it comes highly recommended.

This is Magnien firing on all cylinders, with wines that reward both immediate enjoyment and long-term patience.
