2019 Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

DR94 "From a narrow 0.36ha strip right under the treeline, the fruit is destemmed and fermented on native yeasts in open-top wood fermenters, before ageing for 18 months in cask (15% new). The result has a beautiful, bright red and black fruit character, with a floral edge on the nose and a silky tension on the palate, allied with a lovely depth and density." CC for DR Oct 2020

AllenMeadows for BurgHound writes, "A very cool, restrained and appealingly layered nose reluctantly reveals its array of essence of plum, warm earth and pretty floral wisps. There is fine volume and richness to the supple, round and seductively textured middle weight plus flavors that deliver outstanding length on the balanced, firm and youthfully austere finale." 93Pts Published: Jan 2022

William Kelley for RobertParker.com writes, "This tasting with Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier was one of the high points of three months of visits along the Côte d'Or, and the domaine's exquisite 2019 Musigny might just be the wine I covet the most of all those reviewed in this report. "Depth with joyousness" was how he put it, and I certainly shan't dissent from that characterization of these thrilling, emotion-inducing wines. Combining striking aromatic range, textural sumptuousness and vibrant, mouthwatering freshness, Mugnier's 2019s number among the vintage's very finest wines, and readers should spare neither effort nor expense in acquiring a few bottles if they possibly can."
