Fred Magnien, who is also responsible for making the family wines at Domaine Michel Magnien, did a lot of selection at harvest time but almost no chaptalization. He was able to do a long cold soak, as ambient temperatures were cool and there were not a lot of wild yeasts on the grapes due to the rainy spells in September. He admitted to being unenthusiastic about the wines at the outset but was feeling better about them in November. Magnien reduced the percentage of new oak barrels significantly between 2009 and 2010, from 100% to 40%-50% for the grand crus (until the first racking in July) and from 50% to 30% for the premier crus. Although he believes in pigeage and a long extraction, he told me he's now looking more for "fruity, silky, fat wines with softish acidity and unaggressive tannins" for his negociant collection, while making more classic and laid-back wines at the family domain, whose vineyards include nearly no clones.
