| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 205 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by mattyboy_ on 1/29/2024 & rated 94 points: Just incredible. Went in with somewhat low expectations. The color was extremely light and transparent. On pop on pour, this had a fairly muted nose and flavor profile but within minutes it transformed into a truly magical bottle of red burgundy. The most ethereal NSG I've ever drank, I will borrow from a TN below, it glides on the palate like 2-ply silk. The palate - impressively, also picks up weight after a few glasses. The palate and nose is to die for - perfumed, sweet strawberry and baked cherry nose, a touch of dried peony. One of those wines where you don't want the bottle to end. Drink now. (1072 views) | | | Tasted by Musigny1955 on 11/12/2023 & rated 91 points: Served at Confrerie event. Good, tasty, approachable, ... just not as complex as some other vintages. Sound wine, just not reaching for the stars tonight. As I have more tasting experiences with this wine am coming to think it is a sound second-tier NSG, but without the aromatics or complexities of some other sites. Mugnier's magic Musigny is stellar but well this is a NSG. 91-92 according to my notes. (1665 views) | | | Tasted by PLiu on 9/22/2023 & rated 94 points: Absolutely superb. Texturally light but enveloping -- like fine 2-ply silk; and with great length -- like a silky fabric that you want to keep stroking. Barely dried red fruits and plum. Some tertiary, but not pronounced at all. Sure you could age longer, but why wait. It's so lovely now. (1708 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 9/15/2023 & rated 91 points: Translucent ruby color. Nose of scintillating iron-inflected red raspberry, crushed stone, iodine, and violets. Layers of sharp, ferric-infused, singing red berry and Bing cherry fruit on the palate energized by bright acidity balancing fine-grained, structured tannin. Longer finish of red berry, iron, and velvety earth. Lovely wine. Young but already showing such character and verve. (1629 views) | | | Tasted by ricard on 8/13/2023 & rated 94 points: Yeasty, briochy nose. It's 2008 telling a gentle story. It's really lovely. Velvety and almost chocolatey. Like a chocolate truffle. Really very good indeed. Irresistible. (2013 views) | | | Tasted by chablis28 on 7/18/2023 & rated 95 points: Slox-oxed btl & glass at home for 3hrs b4 taking to Spoon & Stable. Semi translucent ruby red. Not as dark as David's '08 Chevillon Vaucrains in the same flt and a real contrast in weight & flavor profile. The Mugnier was much closer to Chambolle than NSG with its lacey red fruit & ethereal nature. Made for a really fun flight w/ 2 of my fav producers from the same vintage & appellation. The Marechale was just impossible to let sit. The only thing that slowed me down was it arriving in the last of 3 flights and a lot of dishes. Plus an exciting "mystery white" caused me to cherry pick my Mugnier over the Chevillon for an adl glass. Such a pretty wine for NSG! Sadly the last Mugnier mere mortals can barely afford in recent vintages. The Chambolles are crazy expensive now. Loved it and delighted to have one more! (1937 views) | | | Tasted by Force5 on 6/23/2023: This was accessible and fine with less time than previous bottles. In fact I believe I liked this best after opening, after an hour or two this transformed into a decidedly bigger, darker-fruited, and slightly more rustic wine. I think the balance and aromatic complexity were better for the first hour. Nothing stereotypically shrill about this 2008. (1769 views) | | | Tasted by oenanthe on 6/7/2023 & rated 94 points: Nick's 2008 Burgundies (Noizé, London): Medium dark red. A sweet nose, fine fragrance, some spiciness. This is a mellow wine that is superb on the palate, with both body and substance to its red fruit, but also a delicate sweetness that eclipses what you expect. It has what I can only call a refined succulence to it, wonderful. Very close here but I think I gave the accolade of red WOTN to the Mugneret-Gibourg. (1935 views) | | | Tasted by Vinumming & Ahhing on 6/7/2023 & rated 93 points: Nick A's 2008 Burgundy Horizontal (Table B) (Noizé, London): Sweeter nose than the Gros, this has grenadine and a dusting of cinnamon. Later some bonfire leafiness and some mahogany dresser. Palate savoury and very more-ish with a meaty savouriness complementing some ripe red fruits. Very fine. (1753 views) | | | Tasted by TheFoodieTraveler on 5/29/2023 & rated 93 points: This was opened to pair w Peking duck . It did pair well, although I found it a littke too rustic . (1582 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 5/19/2023: Textbook aged red burgundy. Absolutely stunning. Everything in my last note with more perfume and umami, wow. (1584 views) | | | Tasted by swyang on 3/26/2023: This is on a Sunday evening. The whole week had been so intense. I just open this bottle and let it pour into a fine Spiegelau Burgundy glass. The color is so beautiful, dark red/purple in the middle transparent red towards the rim, gradually, the nuances of the fading colors are reminiscent of a beautiful rainbow.
I am contemplating this glass with awe and expectation but try to fully open my mind and not to be influenced by I know of this from the past.
The initial aromas are just uplifting to a weightlessness taking me to high orbit on top of the rainbow; Intense, expressive, yet transparent, the whole nature seems to be in it, and the 14+ years are bringing some of the earth from Clos de la Maréchale and slight dusts of black peppers adding to the complexities.
On the palate, it is much more profound than I remember from last bottle, which was a couple of years ago and it has gained tremendously the mid palate with substantial depth and texture. The mingling and dancing of roses, small red fruits, earth and faints of spices are simply sublime and the backend is uplifting effortlessly. There is something about this wine which has a reverberating effect in the backend(after taste) which reminds of some extraordinary moments of of appreciation from outstanding interpretations of some of Mozart's masterpieces. So pure, so expressive and so perfect. I hope my metaphone is not annoying anyone. Cheers everyone, life is beautiful.
ps; a couple of hours after, it get even velvetier adding a sublime dismay (1691 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 3/9/2023 & rated 91 points: Drank in London (M)
Nice and showing well (1770 views) | | | Tasted by Casa HeRo on 2/11/2023 & rated 93 points: Bringebær, bjørnebær, fat, rød pepper, lakris. Veldig balansert syre og snille taniner som viser seg litt på slutten, uten å tørke ut munnhulen. Nydelig til Bouef Bourgogne. NB! Korken var veldig fuktig og gikk i stykker, må dekanteres. (1976 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 1/22/2023: Clos de la Marechale Vertical (Decatur, GA): Paler ruby red; elegant and finessed nose, floral, sweet soft red fruit, better on the nose than most 2008 red Burgs I've had recently, but the palate is fairly simple and lacking depth. (1092 views) | | | Tasted by François1986 on 12/19/2022 & rated 94 points: Robe rubis, légèrement tuilé sur le disque d'intensité moyenne
Nez infusé de cerise burlat, cèdre, épice léger
La bouche est comme du petit lait, ca se boit avec une facilité et un plaisir déconcertant. Une trame végétale et des tannins savoureux.
L'archétype d'un superbe bourgogne. (2362 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 11/3/2022 flawed bottle: Tasted over 2 hrs, from 375 mL
-med red minimal bricking
-muted nose has a little stewed cherry and earth
-med acidity, med weight muted earthy cherry, med- tannins
-rather uninspiring with all elements muted by what I think is low level TCA just enough to shut it down but without overt corkiness; prior half bottle from same source was unquestionably corked (2200 views) | | | Tasted by Throughthegrapevine on 10/29/2022 & rated 89 points: Pleasant drinking and a light PN expression. Slightly past peak at 14 Y. Drink up (1951 views) | | | Tasted by Decanting Queen on 9/30/2022 & rated 95 points: This was Jack’s backup bottle after the Echexeaux was corked. It turned out to be our wine of the night. Opened after about an hour of air and continually improved. Lovely red fruits, ginger, earthy. Just delicious and perfect with duck. (3392 views) | | | Tasted by jamesabdavis on 9/22/2022: Colour just bricking.
Lovely maturing nose, spice and minerals to the fore, earth, deep dark plummy fruit. Lovely floral aromas (roses?) with time.
Palate marked by vigorous acidity, plenty of stony plum fruit though and it rounds out with a bit with air. Acidic lift and a bit of tannic bite on the finish. A food wine for sure.
This is terrific, the nose is particularly appealing and the wine has the savoury character I’ve always associate with this vintage. (2227 views) | | | Tasted by burgburgburg on 4/20/2022 & rated 90 points: PnP from a 375ml. Fine fruits, mineral, and acidity in the balanced and structural palate. Good NSG 1er. (3084 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 3/13/2022 flawed bottle: From 375mL; sadly corked (2793 views) | | | Tasted by schan109 on 12/26/2021 & rated 94 points: Bottle breathe for 2+1 hour. Impressive nose with cherry, rose and earthy. Full body, balanced with integrated tannin and mineral. Complicated. Peaked and best around 1.5 hours in the glass (3016 views) | | | Tasted by Force5 on 11/25/2021: Very expressive nose, initial taste quite tannic; 3-4 hour slow-ox followed by decanting off of moderate sediment leaves this just about perfect. This is not a showy wine with great intensity, instead it is balanced and quiet with wonderful aromatics of humus earth and a touch of iron. (2922 views) | | | Tasted by nadecesse on 10/30/2021 & rated 91 points: Une nette amélioration depuis ma dernière rencontre, le vin s'offre avec un naturel et une finesse beaucoup plus évidente. Toujours léger, transparent, infusé et frais, l'attaque évoque Chambolle tandis que la finale finement tannique nous ramène bien à NSG. Ma dernière pas avant 5 ans. 91-92+?

| Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.Clos de la Maréchale On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
