1990 | Mugnier | Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses

Situated in Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier covers approximately 14 hectares of vines in some of the most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru sites. The estate was originally founded in 1863 by Frédéric Mugnier, a liquor-maker from Dijon and had been based at the Château de Chambolle-Musigny ever since. This expression comes from Les Amoureuses, a prestigious Premier Cru where Mugnier owns a small holding of 0.53 hectares. The wines tend to have aromatic intensity, depth of flavours and incredible length.

Reviews:

• Burghound: The aromas are spicy, rich and advanced though there is as of yet no sous bois in evidence. The big, rich, medium-bodied flavors are spicy, sweet and slightly chocolately in character with an unusual freshness on the finish and fine length. The other important characteristic is the density, which is also unusual for the '90 vintage. In short, this is drinking well now though there is certainly no rush.

Producer Information

Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is a Burgundian wine producer based in Chambolle-Musigny. It is particularly well-known for its Musigny Grand Cru wine which is regarded as a benchmark for that vineyard. While the estate is most closely associated with Pinot Noir wines from Chambolle-Musigny, it has 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges as well.The Château de Chambolle-Musigny has been owned by the Mugnier family since 1863. From 1950, as there was no winemaker in the family, the vineyards were contracted out to Faiveley and Bruno Clair, with the latter selling the wine in bulk. Between 1985 and 2004, Frédéric Mugnier was able to take back the vineyards as leases expired.On top of the Musigny Grand Cru, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier makes a wine from the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru vineyard, as well as two premier cru wines, Les Fuées and Les Amoureuses, and a village-level wine. From the Nuits-Saint-Georges holdings, Mugnier makes a Clos des Fourches premier cru wine, and a red and a white premier cru from the Clos de la Maréchale vineyard, which is a monopole of the domaine.
