Domaine Jacques Frederic Mugnier - Chambolle Musigny 2020
Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is located in Chambolle-Musigny , in Burgundy . The estate was founded in 1863 by Frédéric Mugnier , an alcoholic 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 rent 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 altering 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 from the vine to the cellar the best of nature, with minimal interference from technological practices.
Chambolle Musigny is made from Pinot Noir from two plots of vines: Les Plantes (0.56 hectares planted in 1968 and classified Premier Cru) and La Combe d'Orveau (0.77 hectares planted from 1952 to 1998). Annual production varies between 3,000 and 7,000 bottles. The wine can be enjoyed in its youth although it can age for at least 10 years.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
