2022 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘Clos de la Marechale’ 1er Cru

The 2022 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier ‘Clos de la Maréchale’ dances between Nuits-Saint-Georges muscle and Chambolle-like grace, with aromas of black cherry, iron, violet, and a flicker of smoky spice. On the palate, it’s finely structured but never rigid—its energy unfurls slowly, revealing layers of dark fruit, forest floor, and mineral tension. Mugnier, a master of restraint, transforms this monopole into something cerebral and quietly seductive year after year.
