Vintage Character The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Tres Girard from Domaine Michel Magnien offers a compelling expression of Pinot Noir from one of the village’s signature lieux-dits. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a cool, challenging growing season, including significant spring frost, which led to reduced yields but heightened aromatic clarity and freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine displays delicate aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal, with subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is elegant and refined, featuring lively red fruit, supple structure, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. The vibrant acidity and finely etched tannins make it an excellent companion to roasted duck breast, mushroom risotto, or a classic Comté cheese, highlighting its versatility with a range of Western dishes and cheese courses.
