Domaine Jacques Frédéric Mugnier - Chambolle Musigny 2019
Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is located in Chambolle-Musigny, in Burgundy. The estate was founded in 1863 by Frederic Mugnier, a liquor-maker from Dijon. In 1950, following the economic crisis 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 most recent addition to the estate was the return of Clos de la Maréchale to the domaine in 2004, changing dramatically its size and allowing a new and better organisation. Today, around Jocelyne and Frédéric Mugnier, the permanent team of the Domaine is attentive to every detail in order to bring from the vineyard to the cellar the best that nature can give, with minimal interference from technological practices.
The Chambolle Musigny is made from Pinot Noir from two plots of vines: Les Plantes (0.56 hectares planted in 1968 and classified as Premier Cru) and La Combe d’Orveau (0.77 hectares planted from 1952 to 1998). The annual production varies between 3,000 and 7,000 bottles. The wine can be enjoyed in its youth although it can age at least 10 years.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
