Frédéric Magnien’s grandfather, Bernard, owned four hectares of vines but delivered the grapes to the local cooperative. Bernard’s son Michel Magnien, born 1946, added various new vineyards, making a speciality of buying scrubland within the appellation borders and planting it, for example Les Evocelles in Gevrey-Chambertin, Fremières in Chambolle-Musignyand premier cru Les Chaffots in Morey-St-Denis. Only with Frédéric’s arrival was the whole crop bottled at the domaine.
