2006 Nuits St Georges, 1er Cru Clos de la Marachele, Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier (12 x Bottle)
Saturated red-ruby color. Pure, vibrant nose features smoky black cherry. Rich, sweet and pure, with superb energy to the flavors of black and red cherry and minerals. Impressively dense, broad wine, finishing with excellent lingering perfume and solid spine for aging. In comparison to this wine, the 2005 version seems a bit easier.

Vinous
(this is a 9.55-hectare monopole; Mugnier vinified nine cuvees but showed me a blend of seven of them, as the other two will probably be declassified into his second wine, Clos des Fourches) Good bright ruby-red. Complex, inviting nose offers blackberry, mocha, brown spices and sexy oak tones. Juicy and sweet, with very good inner-mouth energy but nicely supple tannins considering the wine’s firm acids and the fact that it’s from Nuits-Saint-Georges. Mugnier echoed my sentiment when he noted that this year, the Chambolles seem unusually structured, and this seems more Chambolle-like.
