F. Magnien Coeur Roches - NSG and Cotes de Nuits

Other than $30, what is the difference between the two F. Magnien bottlings?

I understand the NSG Coeur is a blend of 3, 1er Crus in NSG.

What is the blend for the Cotes de Nuits Coeur?

Quite likley that the Cotes de Nuits version come from all over the Cotes de Nuits. Otherwise they would use a more specific designator. They have land all over the place.

I wonder why they used the same name for the wine though, Coeur Roches?

Does it mean that they wine comes from 1er Crus all over the Cote de Nuits as opposed to just NSG? Or does it refer to nothing, in essence. Just curious, anyone know for certain?

I tried their website, but the English option seems to be down, and I couldnt find even the NSG Coeur Roches there.

That could easily be it. I'll post a note once I receive them and give one a whirl. Hoping it's as good a value at $19 as the 05 Drouhin Chorey was.
