Hello,
We made a great dinner at the TGJP in Paris last friday with nine Corbieres of Maxime Magnon (reds, rose & whites from 2007-2010), cuvee Rozeta, Campagnes, Begou, Estrade & Metisse.
See tgjp.com
Ask any questions on the forum and I will try to answer.
Best regards

Thank you, pab. I've enjoyed Magnon's wines quite a bit, but have only seen the red cuvées so far and have yet to visit. At the moment, I'm drinking in the region with a most enjoyable bottle of Aupilhac Montpeyroux 2008.
 
Aupilhac make nice classical wines. Magnon is more... trendy.
You should try the white and new rosé.
Best regards

Exactly. I'm perhaps a little more inclined to the classicals such as Aupilhac, Mas Champart, Mas Jullien, but I'm more than open to the trendies such as Magnon.

Maxime Magnon worked with A. Selosse (champagne), Th. Allemand (cornas)& Y. Métras (beaujolais). Not the worst "fathers". He came in Corbières with new ideas like many newcommers. Some were good, some were bad...
You should taste.
Best regards

I read that Magnon studied under Jean Foillard as well. If trendy means producing Languedoc wine with the pretty aromatics of Rozeta, I’m down with that.

The 2010 d’Aupilhac Montpeyroux will get you in a good-natured headlock while the 2011 Magnon Rozeta will stroke your inner thigh. Different wines for different circumstances, both lovely.

I'll keep an eye out for them.

I hope the lessons were more about winemaking than pricing....

Sorry, but you are wrong. Maxime Magnon studied with Yvon Métras not Jean Foillard.

A Cote de Py or Corcelettes cost in Paris in a cellar shop around 18 euros, for a beautifull wine. Its' a real bargain.

I think he meant Selosse and Allemand.

Too bad I'm not in Paris. More like $35 in my world.

Coincidence? Or conspiracy?
