2012 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Musigny Burgundy
Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is a Burgundian wine producer based in Chambolle-Musigny. It is particularly well-known for its Musigny Grand Cru wine which is regarded as a benchmark for that vineyard. While the estate is most closely associated with Pinot Noir wines from Chambolle-Musigny, 

 

A few years ago, my brother, Peter, put it perfectly: “In winemaking, Fred is seeking the absence of Fred.” There is no greater respect for terroir than to seek its purest revelation by erasing not so much the self, but traces of the self, the noticeable self. Winemaking without a footprint.

Robert Parker

Robert Parker 97 RP - It is still far too early to be opening bottles of Mugnier's 2012 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, but when faced with a keenly priced bottle on a restaurant wine list, knowing that it will soon be drunk by another guest if it isn't by oneself, what is one to do? Unwinding in the glass with a profound but youthfully reserved bouquet of raspberries, cherries, rose petals and Egyptian musk, it's full-bodied, velvety and ineffably complete, with a bottomless core of cool, precise fruit, exquisite structural refinement and a long, penetrating finish.

Burghound

Burghound 97 BH - A gorgeously spicy nose combines dark pinot fruit liqueur scents, various floral elements and exotic tea notes. There is an ultra-refined mouth feel to the imposingly scaled, concentrated and intensely mineral-driven flavors that brim with dry extract that both imparts a velvety texture and buffers the very firm tannic spine on the explosively long and astonishingly complex finish. Among the hundreds of 2012s that I revisited in bottle on this trip, there were exactly three that I swallowed rather than spit out and this was one of them. A 'wow' wine if there ever was one.
