Domaine J-F Mugnier

Mugnier began picking his 2002 crop on September 23, at what he described as much higher sugar levels than the previous year. He carried out a particularly severe green harvest in 2002, yet he still produced 37 to 40 hectoliters per hectare-quite moderate by overall Burgundy standards but higher than the average here.Mugnier told me that the 2002s began with a high percentage of malic acidity, and finished with higher pHs than the 2001s after their secondary fermentations. The 2002s lost a lot of color and flesh during the malos, and they've been recovering slowly since then,' he told me, adding that the vintage has just the right amount of acidity; high-quality, round tannins; and very good depth. Two thousand two is the closest to an ideal vintage in recent years in terms of typicity and the amount of pleasure it will bring to tasters,'he summarized. The wines will be nice to drink early and great to drink when they're old.They have all the best qualities of the 2000s and 2001s, plus an extra element of depth.'(A Becky Wasserman selection; importers include Martin-Scott Wines, Ltd., Lake Success, NY; and Esquin Imports, San Francisco, CA)
