Domaine Jacques Frédéric Mugnier - Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru - Clos de la Maréchale 2022
Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is located in Chambolle-Musigny , Burgundy . The estate was founded in 1863 by Frédéric Mugnier , a spirits 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 spirits business and lease the vineyard to a merchant in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The Chambolle vineyard contract ended in 1978 and 6 years later, Frédéric Mugnier, son of Jacques-Frédéric, assumed full responsibility for the family estate. The latest addition to the estate was the return of Clos de la Maréchale to the estate in 2004, radically changing its size and allowing for a new and better organization. Today, around Jocelyne and Frédéric Mugnier , the permanent team of the Domaine is attentive to every detail in order to bring the best of nature from the vine to the cellar, with minimal interference from technological practices.
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is made from Pinot Noir from the 9.76-hectare Clos de la Maréchale monopoly . Clos de la Maréchale, the exclusive property of the Mugnier family since 1902, returned to the estate at the end of a 53-year operating contract.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
