Community Tasting Note

VincentMorey Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 19, 2023 - A very lovely wine by an iconic producer. First bottle ever of any Mugnier and first also for this climat for me.

Ordered this from the list of a restaurant, and this was supposedly slow ox’d for 30 to 40 mins without a decant. It was actually ready to go. One noticeable thing is that the fruit fades very fast in the glass if there’s 1/3 of a pour remaining, so in order to keep the fruit aromas, the wine needed to be topped off every few minutes, else the alcohol vapors will come to the foreground.

The upside on the nose: beautiful aromas of fresh and dried strawberries, cherries, raspberries, light earth, herbs, spices, a bit of a roasted coffee note and a tiny hint of leather in there somewhere. Extremely elegant, and enough acidity from a cool vintage to enjoy in very refined upscale fine dining settings. I sensed nothing “rustic” about this, but to each their own. Easy to indulge on its own as well, as it is lighter than expected. I still prefer the Taupenot Mermes NSG Pruliers 2015 1er I had a few days prior but it was a treat for sure to experience this.
