Domaine Sebastien Magnien

BURGUNDY, FRANCE

A young domaine by name only, as it descends from Domaine Parigot de Meloisey in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Sébastien Magnien transferred to revamped cellars in Meursault in 2003. Today the property extends over 12 hectares and is managed according to sustainable principles, the whites coming from the Hautes Côtes, Saint-Romain, and Meursault, and the reds from Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, and the Hautes Côtes. A talented young vigneron, Sébastien’s style is true to the most classical Burgundian traditions.

With a hands-off approach in the cellar, and a minimalist use of oak that lets the terroir speak for itself, the wines are focused and pure. Sébastien started the 2021 harvest on 21st September. Conditions were difficult throughout the season, requiring careful management in the vines and additional sorting, but the quality of the grapes selected was excellent. The reds are bright and pure, and the whites show wonderful freshness.
