Domaine Henri Magnien La Coutiere, Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru 2022

The Domaine Henri Magnien Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru La Coutière 2022 is a profound expression of one of the most prestigious sites in the Côte de Beaune, displaying a deep ruby hue and an intricate aromatic profile that blends ripe red currants and wild raspberries with sophisticated earthy undertones of forest floor and dried herbs. On the palate, this vintage reveals a remarkable balance between power and finesse, featuring a dense core of black fruit and plum supported by a firm yet integrated tannic structure that promises exceptional longevity. The wine’s character is defined by the unique limestone and clay composition of the La Coutière vineyard, which imparts a distinct mineral tension and a savory complexity that evolves beautifully throughout the tasting experience. Every sip delivers a vibrant acidity that lifts the concentrated fruit flavors, leading into a persistent and elegant finish marked by notes of sweet spice, toasted oak, and a hint of licorice. This 2022 rendition showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the estate, resulting in a wine that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply satisfying for the discerning connoisseur of fine Burgundy.
