Cotes de Nuits Villages Clos de Magny

A north-facing vineyard, while certainly a rarity in the Côte d’Or, proves hugely advantageous in today’s post-climate-change environment. Situated in the commune of Corgoloin at 330 meters altitude, Hoffmann-Jayer’s Clos de Magny encompasses 0.41 hectares of 50-year-old Pinot Noir with a northerly exposition. An exceptionally complex expression of a comparatively humble appellation, this cuvée is produced only in vintages in which Alexandre deems it worthy of its own spotlight; it is invariably deeper-fruited, more focused, and more elegant than the basic bottling above.
