The Winery
Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier
The Burgundian house of Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier is located in Chambolle-Musigny and is particularly known for its classic example of Musigny Grand Cru wine made from the Pinot Noir grape. The chateau’s history began in the 1880s when Frederic Mugnier established a successful company in Dijon known for producing aperitifs, absinthes, cassis, liquors and aromatized wine, and today, although producing vastly different products, is run by his great-great-grandson by the same name. Along with their grand vin, Jacques-Frederic Mugnier makes wine from Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru vineyard as well as two premier cru wines from Les Fuees and Les Amoureuses vineyard and a village level wine. Current winemaking methods do their best to honor the great terroir that they have acquired over the centuries in Burgundy.
Tasting Notes
- BH93
- Not surprisingly, this really hasn't budged much from my initial in-bottle review published in early 2007 and I repeat that review here as it's entirely on track, both in terms of the description but also with respect to its evolution. A simply sublime mix of spicy, elegant, pure and sophisticated red and black fruit aromas that do possess the barest trace of crushed leaf blend into supple, rich and again, extremely pure, indeed crystalline medium full flavors that are restrained and backward but not stern like those of the Bonnes Mares, all wrapped in a vibrant finish of exceptional intensity. This is superbly well focused and almost etches itself into the palate though the tannic spine is well buffered by plenty of mid-palate sap. A complete wine that will also demand a bit of patience.
