Frederic Magnien told me he used a "semi-white wine vinification" to make a number of his reds in 2003.After eliminating some of the larger grapes, he did a shorter extraction, finishing the sugar fermentations at cool temperatures in floating-top stainless steel tanks, off the skins.He also reduced the percentage of new oak in 2003-to 30% to 50% for his grand crus.These wines were a bit easier to taste than the less-evolved young 2003s from the family estate, as Magnien chilled the estate cellar to 10oC in the summer of 2004, while keeping his negociant facility at 13o or 14o.Magnien makes an alarming number of wines under his negociant label, and I asked him to show me a selection of the more interesting cuvees.
