Bonnes-Mares Mugnier 2009 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. Frédéric Mugnier employs a minimalist approach to winemaking, ensuring the individual nuance of the terroir is preserved. The 2009 vintage provided the ripeness necessary to give the wine a sense of depth and weight, while the limestone-rich soils ensure the palate remains vibrant. This wine shows complex secondary notes of dark fruit, violet, fine spice and wet stone, which emerge on the finish to provide a clean, resonant conclusion that captures the generosity of the year.

The 2009 Bonnes-Mares opens with an exotic, beguiling bouquet. Layers of fruit flow effortlessly as this powerful, rich Burgundy shows off its pedigree. The Bonnes-Mares is a thrill a minute, with its intense energy and pure freshness. This is a great showing from Mugnier. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.

Frederic Mugnier insists that his 2009s will outlive his 2010s. Tasting these 2009s from bottle, it hard to argue with that view.

Medium red. Blueberry, black cherry, violet, mocha and smoke on the nose, plus a whiff of underbrush. Then sweet, large-scaled and powerful in the mouth, with a velvety texture to the flavors of blackberry, black raspberry, mocha and wild herbs. Finishes with big, rich, broad tannins and lingering notes of blueberry and licorice. A bit heavy for a wine from this domain, but then it's carrying 14%.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2011

Precision and Beauty

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.
