  Always enjoyed Mugnier wine. Clos de la Marechale is probably the cheapest but yet the closest to the bigger appellation to try his style. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of mushroom, earth, toast, red fruits, flora. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. 2006 is consider a weaker vintage but drinking very well now.

  8th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, on first night as November bottle and disappointing relative to earlier bottles, half decanted into half bottle and drunk following night much nicer and showing again the attractive black raspberry component in earlier bottles, suspect going through a dumbish phase which more time will cure, 10+ years. F (17.5).

  11/24/2023 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  Tasted over 2 hrs; bottle from secondary market
  -dark red minimal clearing
  -stony black cherry licorice and just a bit of forest floor
  -med acidity, med/med- weight focused linear stony earthy faded black cherry, finishes with med tannins wrapped in iron
  -love this wine, not profound but just so perfectly represents what it is; the first thing you notice is the color that is remarkably dark for its age, then the beautifully complex aromatics that exemplify a well-made NSG at the magical transition point as entering maturity; no hurry on this

  Decanted for a couple hours then drunk over an evening.
  
  Tight and reductive on opening. Not giving much. A bit charmless to be honest. After a couple hours in a decanter, things change.
  
  It starts to open with loamy earth, red fruits, and green tea on the nose. It unfurls further with time with florals, earth, and fruit. Supple, mid weighted and graceful on the palate. It is subtle, drawing you in. There's NSG earth but delivered with a Chambolle level of delicacy. With air time, it expands on the palate with weightless intensity and breadth without weight. Florals arrive and add to the whole with a lovely mix of earth, savory, fruit and florals. This is quite good. A little more rustic than Mugnier's other bottlings, but still quite good. Long on the back end. I dare say this was a value based on what I paid on release, but current valuation, Hmmm. Outstanding nonetheless.

  7th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, attractive, easy Mugnier style does not entirely compensate for the overall simplicity of this wine, which becomes more apparent with bright transparent fruit now being in retreat, a phase maybe in which case upgrade possible again, otherwise this may well have been a Burg best drunk when the fruit was young and fresh, plateau, no rush. VGI (17).
