Domaine Stéphane Magnien Coteaux Bourguignons “Pur Pinot Noir” 2020
A pure and expressive Pinot Noir from Burgundy, offering vibrant red berry fruit, floral aromatics, silky texture, and remarkable freshness. Elegant yet approachable, it showcases the charm of traditional Burgundy through the lens of one of Morey-Saint-Denis’ most respected growers.
Domaine Stéphane Magnien Coteaux Bourguignons “Pur Pinot Noir” 2020 is a regional Burgundy produced entirely from Pinot Noir, allowing the grape’s elegance, finesse, and terroir expression to take centre stage. Unlike the domaine’s “Tradition” cuvée, which incorporates Gamay, this wine focuses exclusively on Pinot Noir, delivering a more refined and classically Burgundian profile. The vineyards are situated on clay-rich limestone soils near Morey-Saint-Denis, with some vines dating back several decades.
Red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and cranberry are layered with violet, rose petal, subtle spice, and delicate earthy undertones. The palate is bright and pure, supported by fresh acidity and a gentle mineral edge.
An excellent introduction to artisanal Burgundy Pinot Noir - authentic, elegant, and crafted by a producer whose reputation extends far beyond regional appellations.

Coteaux BourguignonsBased in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, Stéphane Magnien has built a reputation for wines defined by purity, precision, and restraint. The estate’s philosophy centres on careful vineyard management and gentle winemaking, avoiding excessive extraction or heavy oak influence. The result is wines that express freshness and site character rather than power alone.
The 2020 vintage was particularly successful across Burgundy. Warm growing conditions delivered excellent ripeness and concentration while retaining balance and freshness. Magnien’s 2020 wines are noted for their natural expression, moderate alcohol levels, and polished textures, resulting in wines that feel generous without sacrificing elegance.
In this bottling, Pinot Noir expresses itself through bright red fruit, floral lift, and silky tannins. Compared with richer New World Pinot Noir styles, the wine remains lighter on its feet, focusing on freshness, drinkability, and subtle complexity. While approachable in youth, it possesses enough structure and balance to evolve gracefully over several years.
