This year I tasted two sets of wines made by Frederic Magnien: the negociant bottlings he offers under his own label, and the wines of the family domain, Michel Magnien.In 2002, Magnien carried out long fermentations (the wines spent 21 to 23 days on their skins), explaining that the result was "a lot of tannins enrobed by the extra fat of the vintage."He finished the sugar fermentations after the wines had been taken off the skins. Some wines finished in stainless steel tanks, some in barrels, on their lees, with batonnage he said, "it was like making white wines."The 2002s of both Maison Frederic Magnien and Domaine Michel Magnien were still on their lees, unracked, in early November.(A Peter Vezan selection, imported by North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; and Import!, Madison, WI)
