Jacques Frederic Mugnier Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Marechale Rouge 1er Cru 2022 (750ML)

92 BH / 91-94 JM / 91-93 WA / 17 JR

Outstanding. This is the ripest wine in the range yet the dark berry fruit and distinctly earth-suffused nose remains nicely fresh. The succulent, round and caressing but punchy medium-bodied flavors deliver solid length on the mildly warm and rustic finale that is both firm and complex. Some patience will be necessary. This is also very good. - Allen Meadows, Burghound 

Deeper denser colour than the Chambolle. This is somewhat headier also, darker fruit, perhaps a little higher in alcohol, black cherries, slightly dry tannins, though not exaggerated. Good grip but less fluid than the exquisite village Chambolle. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2023. - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Aromas of dark berries, ripe cherries, spices and grilled meats introduce the 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale, a medium to full-bodied, layered and youthfully structured wine with a deep core of fruit and chalky tannins that assert themselves gently on the finish. - WK, Wine Advocate

Monopole. Cask sample. Deep crimson, one of the most deeply coloured wines of the day. This reeks of class and sophistication in its lovely dark-fruited restraint. The fruit is ripe but still fully alive. Fuller and deeper than I expected on the palate. Embryonic, the tannins compact and fine-grained. A complete baby even with the depth of fruit that shows now. Very long with a savoury, dark-fruited finish and something more mineral in its overall restraint. (JH), Jancis Robinson
