2008 Nuits-St Georges, Clos de la Maréchale, 1er Cru, J.F Mugnier

Nuits-St Georges, Clos de la Marechale, 1er Cru, J.F Mugnier
Most Exciting Value Red
This is the largest premier cru in Nuits St Georges (though would still fit ten-times over in
many Bordelais estates) at 9.55 hectares and is owned in its entirety by the Mugnier family. It
was rented out to Maison Faiveley from 1950 to 2003, with Jacques-Fréderic making his
début in 2004. The wine now has a definite “Chambolle” edge to it and combines Nuits
weight with the Mugnier soft touch.
(BBR Fine Wine)

The alluring perfume here is seriously expressive - more like a great Chambolle than a Nuits, but with a tell-tale Nuits grip. The palate has serious freshness, depth, complexity and a wonderfully long finish, all combined with the smooth texture. We are seeing the maestro that is Frédéric Mugnier really getting to grips with this vineyard – this is the best vintage of this wine yet.
(BBR Fine Wine)

Mugnier’s Clos de la Maréchale has layer upon layer of dark red fruit with an impressive weight on the palate and a superb aftertaste. This should age very well indeed.

Nuits-St Georges, Clos de la Marechale, 1er Cru, J.F Mugnier
A distinctly earthy and anise-infused mix of sour cherry and blue berry fruit that displays whiffs of crushed herbs and pepper merges into detailed, pure and almost delicate middle weight flavors that possess a sophisticated mouth feel and fine length. I should point out though that while there is no rusticity present, the very firm tannins are not as refined as those of the Fuées.

Nuits-St Georges, Clos de la Marechale, 1er Cru, J.F Mugnier
Tasted at the IMW 2008 tasting at Vintners Hall. The Clos de Marechale has good fruité on the nose: redcurrant, crushed strawberry and a hint of orange-blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, almost tough tannins, but there is good depth to this Nuits with a firm, masculine, boysenberry and briary driven finish. Surly at the moment: give this time.
