Medium ruby. Nail varnish. Bright and racy nose. Fresh raspberry and strawberry. Cinammon. Cedar. Young yet seems somewhat unbalanced with lacking mid palate. Light style of NSG. Needs time.
NB: This famous Clos was owned by the Mugnier family since 1902 but the grapes were taken, under a share-cropping agreement, by the merchant house of Faiveley, until 2003. Overnight the Mugnier estate grew from 4 to 14 hectares. It’s the largest single-owned ‘Clos’ in the region, and is right at the edge of the NSG appellation, bordering Chambolle Musigny.

Au Colombier À l'aveugle. Nez parfumé épicé, évoquant la vendange entière. Bouche austère mais racée, c’est seveux et encore jeune mais de belle facture. À revoir dans plusieurs années.

Pronounced nose intensity with notes of red currant, red cherry, strawberry, spices, mushroom, toast, flora, blossom. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Long finish and medium+ bodied.

Good wine but still young, has a slight unbalanced acidic streak at 5the end but overall has good potential, revisit in 5+ years.
