2013 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Clos de la Marechale Blanc 1x750ml

Vinous 92

Bright straw-yellow. Reticent nose hints at menthol and white pepper. Then juicy and concentrated in the mouth, offering terrific verve and silky weight to the flavors of pineapple, grapefruit and white bread. The wine’s insidious sweetness is perfectly buffered by strong acidity and a low pH. Very backward compared to the 2014 version, but wonderfully juicy and long. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/03/2016]
