Pinot Noir · Cote de Nuits
95 points from Antonio Galloni, and only 500 cases made.
“Bright medium red. Less open-knit but higher-pitched on the nose than the Bonnes-Mares, conveying outstanding verve to the aromas of raspberry, crushed rock, flint and mint. Brilliantly delineated, stony wine with intense raspberry and spice flavors complemented by salty extract. Wonderfully pure red fruits and spices carry through the dynamic, intense finish, with the crushed-rock element stimulating the salivary glands. This is even more vibrant than the Bonnes-Mares and may need every bit as much cellaring.”
“The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses has more fruit intensity than the Bonnes-Mares. This is very defined and precise, beautiful floral scents, rose petals with just a hint of orange blossom that typifies this propitious vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh and very fine tannin. There is lovely poise here, wonderful tension and yet it remains much more understated than say Groffier, de Vogüé or Amiot-Servelle. It is blessed with an elegant and winsome finish that leaves you resisting temptation to take another sip straight away. Bon vin.”
“An exceptionally floral and wonderfully elegant nose presents notes of cool and airy high-toned red berry fruit along with plenty of spice and a hint of sandalwood. The medium-bodied flavors are at once silky yet powerful with really lovely underlying tension while delivering terrific length on the beautifully delineated, mineral-driven and harmonious finale. This is quite simply drop dead gorgeous.”

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.
