2021 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Nuits St Georges Clos De La Marechale Premier Cru

Other Reviews....
An exuberantly fresh nose features notes of grapefruit, green apple and a whisper of spice. There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the delicious and vibrant medium weight flavors that conclude in a tangy, nicely dry and refreshing finale. This would benefit from having better depth but a few years of keeping should address that. Drink through 2025+.

The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is more overtly structured from bottle than I perceived from barrel, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, vine smoke and earthy spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut and chalky palate that will reward some patience. Drink 2027-2041.

The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru has a pretty, floral nose with pressed rose petal filtering through the red fruit. Transparent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, light for a Premier Cru yet quite vivacious with finely chiselled tannins towards the tart finish. Will be difficult to resist young. Drink 2024-2034.

This Nuits-Saint-Georges has an astonishingly expressive nose of sour cherries, pomegranate and blood orange, the oak almost completely masked by these aromas. The marriage of ripeness and vibrancy, fine tannins and stony acidity is very impressive. Interesting touch of liquorice at the long, bright and focused finish.

A light to medium purple. Mugnier elegance meets the Maréchale, so this is more in fruit than flowers after the ethereal Chambolle. There is enough depth of fruit here, both on the nose and palate, followed by a fresh finish, fruit plus acidity with also a light tannin or two. Drink from 2026-2032.

Mugnier’s nearly ten-hectare monopole at the southern extreme of Prémeaux-Prissey has suffered in recent years: hail in 2018, coulure in 2019, drought in 2020, and frost in 2021. It has produced a bit more than half a normal harvest this year, but what is left is lovely indeed, with lush, pretty aromas of raspberry with floral notes and a delicate, supple texture on the palate that is ethereal yet oddly persistent. It is far from the most structured in the portfolio but is among the most approachable. Drink 2025-2040.
