mugnier 1999 chambolle
Way-back-when (actually about 8 years ago), out of half a dozen decent 99 Chambolles this was the one that had that extra dimension. I put plenty of halves in the cellar to keep me away from the bigger bottles, but also to for keeping an eye on the vintage;… Read More
mugnier 1994 musigny
I’d heard that this was on its last legs. So rather than let it fester in the cellar, I hoped that maybe there was a chance of a last ‘hurrah’ but it seems reports of this wine’s death have been exaggerated! 1994 JF Mugnier, Musigny… Read More

Profile: Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier (Chambolle)

friday’s extra taste…
2014 JF Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Les Amoureuses What an open nose, slightly jammy but with a swathe of floral interest too. Filling the mouth, very fluid, melting; currently in a mineral phase, but how complex it is, just a couple of mm of textural cushioning and a tiny… Read More
