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

Note:

True to the Mugnier style, this is also wonderfully pure with its expressive nose of earthy red pinot fruit that also exhibits notes of underbrush and a mineral component that is picked up by the vibrant and well-delineated middle weight flavors. The mid-palate is relatively refined and the Nuits origins don`t really show up until the firm and mouth coating finish and even then it`s more in the way of muscle than rusticity. Lovely.
