Nuits St Georges, Clos de La Maréchale, 1er Cru, 2009
Freddy Mugnier took back the Clos de la Marechale when the lease to Faiveley expired, and 2004 was the first vintage bottled up under the Mugnier label. The potential of this great Nuits-St.-Georges Monopole seems to get greater every year. Rich, velvet dark fruits flavours, dense, earthy and spicy, complex and profound with great length of flavour, notes of fruit liqueur, plums and sloes. Heady and sensual Nuits.
critic reviews
Mugnier’s 2009 Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos de la Marechale was drop-dead gorgeous. Clos de la Marechale is another of my go-to wines, as it is readily available (by Burgundian standards) and rarely excessively marked up on restaurant lists. The 2009 was ripe, open and seductive. Although very much in the style of the year, the Clos de la Marechale also showed plenty of structure in support of the radiant, expressive fruit. Readers fortunate enough to own the 2009 can look forward to a broad and long drinking window.
