2022 Nuits-St-Georges, Clos de la Marechale, Jacques-Frederic Mugnier

Aromas of dark berries, ripe cherries, spices and grilled meats introduce the 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale, a medium to full-bodied, layered and youthfully structured wine with a deep core of fruit and chalky tannins that assert themselves gently on the finish. ~ (93) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-18-2024

Deep crimson, one of the most deeply coloured wines of the day. This reeks of class and sophistication in its lovely dark-fruited restraint. The fruit is ripe but still fully alive. Fuller and deeper than I expected on the palate. Embryonic, the tannins compact and fine-grained. A complete baby even with the depth of fruit that shows now. Very long with a savoury, dark-fruited finish and something more mineral in its overall restraint. ~ (17) Julia Harding, JancisRobinson.com 1-18-2024

This is the ripest wine in the range yet the dark berry fruit and earth-suffused nose remains nicely fresh. The succulent, round and caressing but punchy medium-bodied flavors deliver solid length on the mildly warm and rustic finale that is both firm and complex. Some patience will be necessary. ~ (93) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-10-2024
