Lots of Chambolle 1er Les Fuées with Jacky Rigaux last night – while the site was looking a bit odd after the server change – if odd for half a day is all I have to put up with, that’s fine!
Back to the Fuées; when I say lots, it was ‘only’ ten wines. If I add a few more it could be the basis of (okay, I’ll say it before you do – the ‘padding’ for) a vineyard profile – hmm – perhaps in the Autumn Burgundy Report, Summer is already booked 😉 Of note, there were 2 wines from the 2004 vintage and let me just say, you didn’t need sight of the label to guess the vintage!

Tease!
Mugnier’s Fuees had always been a favorite of mine: floral with spine. I’m coveting my last few 96s…
I’m definitely with you there – it was one of my go-to wines in the 97-2000 vintage period and in my opinion much nicer than his Bonnes-Mares of the same era. I then missed a few vintages because the importer was kicked out and now it’s too expensive. The 07 was very pretty last evening though, if not the best 07… 😉
Mugnier’s Fuées 04 rocks!!
I’ll believe you Paul – thousands wouldn’t.
His Musigny is loaded with the ‘vintage character’, I know, I have 5 more in the cellar and I’m not looking forward to trying one anytime soon!
