Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Marechale, Jacques-Frederic Mugnier

Note:

Mugnier`s 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Marechale is a terrific success in the 2015 vintage and is strongly reminiscent of the excellent 2005 rendition, opening in the glass with aromas of creamy cassis, ripe cherry, dark chocolate and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied and sapid, with succulent acids, an ample chassis of rich tannins and excellent length. This is one of the rare cases of a great Burgundy from a great domaine that is available in some volume, and no one should fixate on Mugnier`s Chambolles at the expense of this lovely Nuits.
