Domaine Jacques Frederic Mugnier Chambolle Musigny Les Fuées 2020

Mugnier's 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées unfurls to reveal aromas of rich red berry fruit mingled with peonies, orange oil and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and perfumed, its ample core of fruit is framed by supple, melting tannins and lively acids. Concluding with a long, saline finish, like its communal counterpart, this is an elegant, vibrant wine despite the extremes of the vintage.

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru has a bright nose with black plum, briary, crushed stone and orange rind scents. Suggestions of shucked oyster shell surface with time and impart a discrete estuarine dimension. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, black cherry fruit, allspice, hints of peppermint and quite a lavish finish, slightly less "serious" than when I tasted it out of barrel last year Great potential.
