Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier

This is one of the legendary domaines of Burgundy and we are delighted to be able offer its wines for the first time. Frederic Mugnier took over from his father over four decades ago when the domaine totalled only 4 hectares, all of which were in Chambolle-Musigny, where the domaine is based. Twenty years later, he took back the 9.7ha vineyard of 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale in the southern part of Nuits and immediately more than trebled the size of the domaine, adding a new cuverie in the process! The large monopole of the Clos de la Maréchale, even allowing for the gentler style of the wines from southern Nuits, yields wines of a silkiness more typical of Chambolle than Nuits-Saint-Georges. Yet, the stony, earthy character of Nuits still comes seeps through the sumptuous and fine tannic structure.

Quantities from the domaine are small so please enquire about availability.
