Magnien wines are the gateway to Burgundy. Choosing to explore his wines is an exciting first step for a wine drinker toward becoming more involved with wine -- into the infinite variety and beautiful mystery that is Burgundian Pinot Noir.
For those just getting to know Burgundy wines, Magnien is a masterful guide, as he offers an unparalleled selection of wines from the region's finest vineyards. Yet for Burgundy connoisseurs, Magnien is the benchmark for exploring the characteristics of grand and premier cru wines: the licorice of Chambertin, the incense of Morey “Ruchots,” the orange essence of Échezeaux.
The signature of Magnien Burgundy is the perfumes and tastes of late summer -- dark, ripe plums and sweet, concentrated blackberries, cooled by the laurel-tinged air of the forest.
Jake Assaf
Certified Sommelier
Somm (n.) - a shortened reference for sommelier, a trained and knowledgeable wine professional. SOMM (film) - a documentary by Director Jason Wise about the Master Sommelier examination. Similar to the celebrity chef phenomenon and due in-part to the documentary film series SOMM (available on Netflix), wine professionals are seeing their own emergence and nod on the global stage. We’re proud to introduce our own resident Somm and Managing Partner, Jake Assaf. Jake’s been a humble servant of the grape for more than 14 years and eagerly boasts ‘someone has got to taste wine and cheese for the rest of us.’ Jake is excellent at just that and is also a jedi master at pairing wines to perfectly suit your tastes and preferences. He personally selects the wines on our tap system (8 wines available on draft) and reserve bottle list. Our wines rotate frequently and aim to introduce you to wines you’ve never tried from producers you’ve likely not heard of. Not sure what you like? You're in good hands and we can't wait to pour you a proper glass.
