Description

This is another firm favourite of ours, year in, year out. The Clos de la Maréchale did not disappoint in 2009; it is a chunky, broad fellow yet finished off with an all encompassing gloss. Bravo!
(Stuart Rae, Cellar Plan Account Manager)

A lovely, rich purple colour with a sensitive nose leads to darker fruit and quite a powerful backdrop, but with no noticeable tannins. Wonderfully smooth, poised and with a long finish, Mugnier 's Nuits-St Georges Clos de la Maréchale wine is hard not to fall in love with.

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 92/100
The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Marechale shows the more virile side of Pinot. Black cherries smoke, tar and licorice all come to life in this intense, broad-shouldered wine. Layers of fruit build to the muscular, virile finish. The wines masculine personality is quite a contrast to the seductiveness of Mugniers other 2009s.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
