Domaine Jacques Frédéric Mugnier - Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru - Clos de la Maréchale Blanc 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.
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale Blanc is made from Chardonnay. The tradition of a white Clos de la Maréchale was lost almost 50 years, but several exceptional old bottles, found buried in the cellar, convinced them to revive this rare wine since the 2015 vintage. In order to recreate a Chardonnay plantation straight away capable of producing adult vine quality material, they applied a technique rarely used in Burgundy known as top-grafting. This technique consists of preserving the old vine (previously grafted to Pinot Noir) and inserting a Chardonnay bud under the bark of its trunk, which, over the following weeks, will fuse with the wood of the old vine, feed on its sap and develop, giving the fruit in the following year.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
