2020 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Clos de la Marechale Rouge 1x750ml

Vinous 91

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Marechale 1er Cru has a warm bouquet. There's more red fruit here, with floral scents emerging violet and peony fine delineation and nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly edgier tannins, fine structure, a little more peppery in style (possibly due to the whole bunch), gentle grip, and a ferrous finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. [Neal Martin, 10/01/2024]
