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.
The 1990 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has a strange nose with a strong lavender scent that makes way for an aroma I can only describe as "dishwater". The palate is much better, relatively fresh with red berry fruit, a little hard and perhaps fading on the finish. I wonder if that nose is representative. Even so, I wager not a great 1990. Tasted at the Les Amoureuses vertical at Hide restaurant. - Neil Martin

Jacques-Frederic Mugnier

Jacques-Frederic Mugnier

Located the famous Château de Chambolle-Musigny, which has been owned by the Mugniers since the mid 19th century, Frédéric Mugnier took the hem at the family winery in 1985. Frédéric farms around 35 acres of vines, including plantings in some of Burgundy's most desirable crus, most notably the famous Les Amoureuses Premier Cru and Musigny Grand Cru. A notable recent addition to the portfolio is Clos de la Maréchale in Nuits-St-George, returned to the family stable after a 54 lease to Domaine Faiveley.

The winemaking is methodical and reasoned, reflecting Frédéric's training as an engineer - all fruit is destemmed before crushing, new oak is limited to 25% and all wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Bucking the trend somewhat, Frédéric has decided not to pursue organic or biodynamic certification. While pesticide and herbicide-free since the mid-1990s, the domaine take a pragmatic approach to vineyard management rather than a dogmatic one.
