Domaine J-F Mugnier

My last visit in March was coincidentally the first that I had visited back in July 2021 to taste the 2020s. It was too early to publish my notes, which is why none appeared in my original report; then my appointment had to be postponed twice due to my returning to England early and then Omicron in January. Finally, I rang Mugnier’s doorbell in late March to retaste the wines. Frédéric Mugnier was in typically sanguine form, bemoaning the prospect of yet another frost-affected weekend, ruing how many seasons have been struck by frost in the last decade compared to the two before. “I picked from 26 to 31 August,” he mentioned. “I think it is a vintage that must be kept in bottle, and it may disappoint those who drink it young.” The two standouts were a quite sensational Musigny Vieilles Vignes that could well challenge Christophe Roumier’s, regal and majestic from start to finish. Whilst the Amoureuses was a little closed, perhaps due to the inclement weather, a thunderclap above our heads as we tasted it, I thought Mugnier Les Fuées was singing, blessed with a captivating oyster-shell tinged nose.
