Frédéric Mugnier is among the last growers to rack, which means tasting the wines from barrel can be tricky. Not surprisingly, the 2012s are even more impressive from bottle than they were from barrel. Mugnier's yields were about 14 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to the typical 32-35. The vintage was tough for everyone, but Mugnier also endured a severe July hailstorm in Clos de la Maréchale.

"Drink 2012 before 2013 because the wines are easy, round and attractive," advises Frédéric Mugnier, adding that 2013 has "a sharper edge." In fact, Mugnier currently ranks 2012 below both 2013 and 2011, even if he believes that the vintage will please everyone. "It's a year of pure pleasure without being superficial. But does it have a hidden dimension?"

Frédéric Mugnier's yields were about 14 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to the typical 32-35. The vintage was tough for everyone, but Mugnier also endured a severe July hailstorm in Clos de la Marechale. Malos took place between April and July 2013, however, none of the wines had been racked at the time of my visit in November 2013, which is unusual. I will not be surprised to see some or all of these wines show considerably better after bottling, which is scheduled for April-May, with the exception of the Clos de la Marechale Blanc, which will be bottled in January 2014.

When I asked Frederic Mugnier when would be the best time to consume the 2012s, he answered, "They will be easy to drink over the next 50 years." The wines, he noted, are high in acidity and alcohol, and they have more fruit than they're showing today. "They're more powerful than the 2010s," he added. Among the challenges during the growing season were a good bit of sunburn, especially in Chambolle, and an early July hailstorm that reduced the crop drastically in Mugnier's large Clos de la Marechale holding. At harvest time, Mugnier first destemmed his fruit, then put it on a vibrating sorting table to eliminate the dried berries.
