NUITS ST. GEORGES, CLOS DE LA MARECHALE 2005 JACQUES-FREDERIC MUGNIER |

Nuits St. Georges, Clos de la Maréchale 2005 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Côte de Nuits, 1er CruThis 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, MW12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
