1990 Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Musigny

Frédéric Mugnier’s 1990 Musigny harkens back to an earlier
time in the estate’s history when Mugnier was splitting his time between flying
commercial airliners and running the family domaine in Chambolle. While
certainly an outstanding wine, the 1990 Musigny is almost a shock to taste, as it is made with a very different
aesthetic than that which informs Mugnier’s wines today.

Racy, super-ripe and concentrated, the 1990 boasts
tremendous depth throughout. The flavors are decidedly dark and rich, while the
still-present new oak gives the wine its modern contours. There is no shortage
of intensity, but readers won’t find the spellbinding purity and translucence
that have made the Mugnier Musigny one of the most coveted wines in the world
over the last 15 years or so. The 1990 has more than enough depth to drink well
for another decade, perhaps longer, but it will never be an especially finessed
wine. 92/Drink 2016-2026.
