Chambolle Musigny Les Fuees 2006 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Peat, black tea, game, mint, crushed stone, and dark berry aromas rise in at once sinister and enticing profusion from the glass of Mugnier's 2006 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuees. Corresponding low-toned complexity characterizes the opulently-textured and caressing, bittersweet palate. Stony minerality proves the most tenaciously aspect of this dark beauty's long, soothing, yet almost brooding finish. It sent chills back up my spine just transcribing my tasting note and recreating this wine's uncanny, hard-to-describe character. I suspect it will be worth following for ten or a dozen years, probably longer. The track record at this address is more than merely convincing.

Embryonic nose – a little raw. But it opened out in the glass and was much more flattering and sweet even if the tannins are pretty dominant on the finish.
