Origin | France, Burgundy, Nuits-Saint-Georges |
At the beginning of the 20th century, this estate founded in 1863 by Frédéric Mugnier, a liquor-maker in Dijon, included nearly twenty hectares of the best vineyards spread over Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges. In 1950, following the economic crisis of the 1930s and the world war, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, great-grandson of the first Frédéric, chose to sell the liquor business, and lease the vineyard out to a negociant in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The contract on the Chambolle vineyard ended in 1978 and 6 years later Frédéric Mugnier, son of Jacques-Frédéric, assumed full responsibility for the family estate.

The 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale Blanc bursts with aromas of pear, orange zest, hazelnuts, dried white flowers and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, layered and chalky, with lively acids and fine back-end grip, it shows considerable promise. 91-93

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Blanc Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru has a fresh, vibrant bouquet with Japanese plum, citrus peel and crushed limestone scents. The palate is very poised on the entry, with creamy texture, pineapple mixed with white peach and Anjou pear towards the finish. Lovely.
