2019 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Clos de la Marechale Rouge 1×1.5L

Vinous 93

The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Marechale 1er Cru is, again, very well defined on the nose with a little more complexity that de l’Arlot’s Clos de l Arlot. There s a melange of red and black fruit, sous-bois, bay leaf and clove. The palate is medium-bodied, finely-chiseled, taut and linear, with a keen thread of acidity. This is more sapid on the finish and bears a persistent aftertaste a great wine for the vintage insofar that it retains freshness and vitality without losing any terroir expression. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. [Neal Martin, 12/12/2023]
