J.F. Mugnier Chambolle Musigny 2002
The Winery
Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier
The Burgundian house of Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier is located in Chambolle-Musigny and is particularly known for its classic example of Musigny Grand Cru wine made from the Pinot Noir grape. The chateau’s history began in the 1880s when Frederic Mugnier established a successful company in Dijon known for producing aperitifs, absinthes, cassis, liquors and aromatized wine, and today, although producing vastly different products, is run by his great-great-grandson by the same name. Along with their grand vin, Jacques-Frederic Mugnier makes wine from Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru vineyard as well as two premier cru wines from Les Fuees and Les Amoureuses vineyard and a village level wine. Current winemaking methods do their best to honor the great terroir that they have acquired over the centuries in Burgundy.
Summary
J.F. Mugnier’s Chambolle-Musigny 2002 is a refined village-level Pinot Noir from Burgundy, known for its elegance and finesse. This wine exhibits a light ruby hue and an intensely aromatic profile featuring warm cherry, crushed berries, and hints of spice and earthy nuances. On the palate, it showcases a vibrant acidity complemented by finely textured tannins, providing a seductive mouthfeel. The wine balances fruit and herbal notes with a subtle mineral edge, resulting in a long and harmonious finish. With limited production and meticulous winemaking practices, this vintage is celebrated for its classic structure and age-worthiness, sourced from various parcels of the Chambolle region.
Tasting Notes
- WA93
- Very pale ruby colour. Incredibly intense nose of warm cherry, crushed strawberries, mace, smoked game, damp earth and peppercorns. On the palate there’s a nice backbone of high acidity with a medium+ level of very fine tannins. Just enough flesh in the mid-palate combined with the satiny texture makes this very seductive. Long finish.
