Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (2016 vintage) (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The Magnins are among the most iconic figures in the Savoyard wine region. These two dedicated winemakers, who have been farming under certified organic practices since 2012, decided to reduce the size of their estate to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. While their lineup is small, both their white and red wines are truly beautiful.

About the estate:
This artisanal estate has played a pivotal role in the contemporary history of the Savoyard vineyards. Although the area under cultivation has decreased, meticulous work—both in the vineyard and in the cellar—allows Louis Magnin to achieve exceptional expression in both reds and whites. A perfectionist, he demonstrates through his various vintages a consistency that few producers in this region can match. Less opulent than in the past, the whites emphasize mineral intensity. Among the Mondeuses—flamboyant but meant for aging—we continue to prefer (often, though not this year!) the cuvées aged in tanks over those aged in barrels.
