Nuits St. Georges, Clos de la Maréchale 2005 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier (5 BT)

Nuits St. Georges, Clos de la Maréchale 2005

Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier

Côte de Nuits, 1er Cru

1 slightly sunken cork

This lovely Mugnier monopoly of just under 10 hectares of old vines is the largest monopoly on the Côte d'Or. In 2016, this has a strong, forthright Nuits nose, bringing in the floral and raspberry notes of the 1ers crus of Prémeaux. Lots of flesh and structure on the palate. Not a crime to drink now although it will live into the future. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
