Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées Mugnier 2005 presents an intricate tapestry of aromas, revealing notes of dark cherry, raspberry and subtle earthiness. The palate showcases a medium-bodied structure, characterised by refined tannins and a mineral undertone, indicative of its terroir. The balance between fruit and depth remains evident, suggesting longevity in the bottle. This wine is crafted by Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, known for its meticulous vineyard practices and low yields, aimed at capturing the essence of Burgundy.
93 Robert Parker
From a site just south of Bonnes Mares, the 2005 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuees smells brightly of ripe strawberry and black and red raspberry mingled with resin and maple syrup. In the mouth, this exhibits palpable density, yet lovely delicacy and refined tannin, with accents of citrus rind and mineral salts adding allure. The vigorous finish weaves together savory, soy-like saltiness, fresh, subtle tartness of ripe fruit skin, sweet florality. This should drink well early but be capable of at least 10-12 years of improvement. Frederic Mugnier works from a just-expanded and superbly appointed cellar, and a tasting of his 2004s confirms that he is scoring hits even when Nature does not make it easy as she did the following year. Mugnier advocates unusually late but limited pigeage. “After all,” he opines, “we take great care not to crush the berries, so it doesn’t make sense to do an early pigeage and break them,” and late punch-down further extends the fermentation. - David Schildknecht

Bright red-ruby. Sexy red berries, minerals and flowers on the perfumed nose. Silky, sweet and very ripe; quite full and lush for this wine, with perfectly integrated acidity. This really saturates the mouth with intense red fruit, mineral and floral flavors. Finishes very long, with wonderfully suave tannins. Very sexy now, but this has to shut down, doesn't it?
17 Jancis Robinson
Intense, very pure nose that manages to smell like particularly opulent damson juice. Dances on the palate – very pure and refined. Long, bealthy and expressive. This wine seems to lodge deep in the throat – a laryngitis cure? (JR)

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.
