Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Clos de la Marechale'

'Fred Mugnier's sizeable 9.55ha premier cru is always a good source of well-priced drinking in Nuits-St-Georges. His sensitively oaked, refined 2017 shows his characteristic lightness of touch with filigree tannins and scented wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit.' - Decanter - 93 Points

'The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is a little more introverted after its recent bottling, unwinding in the glass with a reticent bouquet of red berries, raw cocoa, sweet soil tones and dried flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with good depth at the core and a more structured, introverted profile than the Chambolle that preceded it. The missing ingredient here is a little time.' - Wine Advocate - 91 Points

'A markedly earthy nose features notes of various dark berries and hints of game and similar green tea nuances. There is both good detail and a lovely underlying tension to the middle weight flavors that are not quite as refined but offer a bit more complexity on the lingering finish where the intensity and power really build from the mid-palate. This delicious effort should amply repay mid-term cellaring.' - Burghound - 91 Points
