Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Marechale 2020
Intro: The 2020 Clos de la Maréchale is a 1er Cru from Nuits-Saint-Georges crafted by Domaine Mugnier. It blends elegance with power; deep coloured, concentrated, yet showing finesse and tension. According to descriptions it presents rich red-berry and dark-fruit core, strong minerality and age-worthy structure. The vineyard “Clos de la Maréchale” rejoined the Mugnier domaine’s own holdings in 2004, boosting their estate from about 4 hectares up to 14 hectares, and allowing this famed domaine to fully control one of its notable premier cru sites.
