History of the Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier estate
Frédéric Mugnier, a Dijon liquor maker, founded this estate in 1863. The estate extends over some twenty hectares between Chambolles-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Frédéric Mugnier's descendants ran the estate and liqueur house until 1949. At that time, post-war economic difficulties forced great-grandson Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier to sell the liquor factory and rent the farm. The company was then reduced to a large wine house in Nuits-Saint-Georges. In 1978, he took over management of the farm until his death in 1985. Today, his son Frédéric Mugnier succeeds him at the helm, surrounded by the estate's team. Under his aegis, the part of the estate that had been leased for 53 years has returned to the family fold. A phase of rebirth that has taken Domaine Mugnier from 4 to 14 hectares. The Clos de la Maréchale, a parcel of around 9 hectares, was then reintegrated into Nuits-Saint-Georges. One hectare of this parcel is dedicated to the production of white wines, the volumes of which are kept secret. The estate also acquired large new vats. The Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier company uses the "Château-Chambolle Musigny" label to market its wines
Terroir and grape varieties
The estate produces around 60,000 bottles a year from its 14 hectares of vines. The average age of the vines is 60 years. The winemaker and owner of this wine estate, scientist Fréderic Mugnier, markets lively, well-balanced wines that will age in the bottle, as well as young wines. The grape varieties are 100% Pinot Noir for the reds and 100% Chardonnay for the whites, with an average vine age of 60 years. Harvesting is done by hand. The domaine's best terroirs are Musigny, Bonnes-mares, Les Amoureuses and Les Fuées. The owner has stopped selling Musigny until further notice, to allow the bottles to age in the cellars. But some of these long-aged rarities are available for sale to wine lovers. Returning to the domaine's terroir, the Musigny vines benefit from a good orientation between two deep valleys, facing the Alps and above Clos Vougeot. The vines are protected from mountain winds. The soils are draining, with a good composition of gravel and little clay. Musigny's terroir benefits from cool, dry conditions and plenty of sunshine, giving its wines a strong personality
The qualities of Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier wines
Wines produced before 2000 are distinguished by their exuberant character and multiple flavors of subjugating intensity. No competitor can match these ruby-colored Grands Crus, with their incredibly complex noses and velvety, powerful mouthfeel. Later vintages are more delicate, with fresh, vibrant aromas and a hint of acidity. A seductive character that makes it worthy of long ageing.
-Domaine J-F Mugnier Bonnes mares 1988: this grand cru red, with its capsule and label in perfect condition, is a veritable elixir that will delight your taste buds. Its soft, deliciously perfumed Pinot Noir nose will surprise you with its notes of undergrowth, earth and complex aromas. A very succulent wine with great depth and a trace of tannin on the finish. A rare Grand Cru to grace your table on a special occasion and impress your guests.
-Domaine J-F Mugnier Bonnes mares 2016: this Grand Cru is one of the estate's most famous wines. It's a full-bodied, concentrated and layered wine. It will seduce you with its deep, savory fruit core and long, precise finish. It's also a wine for laying down.
-Domaine Mugnier Chambolle Musigny les Amoureuses 1990: a red Premier Cru made from old vines planted in the 1950s. A wine that offers the crème de la crème of Burgundy's great wines at their best: complex, vinous, rich in aroma and with immense ageing potential. A very easy-drinking wine. Condition of capsule and label intact.
-Domaine Mugnier Chambolle Musigny les Amoureuses 2015: another premier cru in perfect condition. The producer defines it as a vintage that conforms to the definition of a great year, but whose expressions will only fully reveal themselves after long aging. The wine has a beautiful color and pronounced aromas of cedar and pine. If you wish to enjoy it without waiting a few decades, pair it with fish, red meat or poultry.
-Domaine Mugnier Saint-Georges clos de la Maréchale 2004: a Premier Cru with a light purple color and an impeccable exterior. A very pleasant bottle to give as a gift. This ripe wine offers a pleasant tasting experience with its aromas of herbaceous red fruits, earthy or vegetal notes, medium body and good length on the palate. To make the most of its aromas, breathe in the wine without pouring. Like all old vintages, the bottle should be served between 16°C and 18°C.
-Domaine Mugnier Saint-Geroges clos de la Maréchale 2018: an exceptional red premier cru from a pinot noir plantation over 50 years old. A lovely, wonderfully perfumed bouquet with notes of black tea, rose petals or juniper. Full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. If you're looking for a quality wine that will stand the test of time, this bottle is to be recommended.
