Domaine Maxime Magnon - Campagnes - Magnum 2019
Domaine Maxime Magnon is located in the Hautes Corbières, in the Languedoc. Originally from Burgundy, he was not born with hereditary rights on a Burgundian estate but has been making his own wine in Corbières for about ten years. He bought plots of old vines on an abandoned vineyard and rents an old garage. He cultivates 9 plots on 11 hectares with steep vineyards at high altitude. He has obtained the certification in organic farming, but also incorporates biodynamic practices in the management of his vineyard. Like his friends and mentors, Didier Barral (in Faugères) and Jean Foillard (with whom he studied in Morgon), he is a naturalist at heart and seeks to create a harmonious ecosystem in his vineyard.
Campagnès is the top growth of Maxime Magnon's plot cuvée, entirely made from centenarian Carignan. The wine is aged in previously used Burgundy barrels from a producer in Chassagne-Montrachet.
Grape variety: 100% Carignan
