  Popped and poured. My experience was quite a bit different than the other notes here.
  
  I found this to be quite ripe, dense, but most surprisingly, dominated by dark fruit, not red. There really wasn’t much of the finesse or ethereal characteristics I tend to find in Mugnier’s wines. I was prepared for some impact from the warm vintage, but I wasn’t expecting this. The JFM wine this reminded me the most of was the 2009 Marechale. Not bad by any means but not what i look for in Mugnier.
  
  Of course, perhaps it was an off bottle or its in a strange phase, or maybe it would have come around with more time.

  Opened at Les Climats in Paris. P&P and enjoyed over dinner.
  
  I was worried that this wouldn't be open for business, but it was too tempting to pass up. I'm very glad that we went for it - this was gorgeous and only got better with air and time in the glass.
  
  Classic Chambolle nose of red fruits, coupled with Mugnier's charm and elegance. Quite a precise wine and impressive for a village (even though there is some declassified 1er juice in it).
  
  Mugnier's Chambolle village remains one of my all time favourites for just sitting back and having a great time. This is no exception and beautifully showcases the elegance of Chambolle. There is definitely upside if you want to wait, but if you can't - enjoy!

  약간 상태가 안좋았다. 약한 부쇼네이거나 원래 시간이 필요하거나 둘중 하나인데 처음 마시는 와인이라 구별은 불가능. 시간이 지나면서 원래의 퍼포먼스를 보여줬고 3~4시간이 지나자 아주 좋은 모습을 보여줬다. 다음에 다시 마셔봐야 정확한 판단이 가능할 것 같다.

  Honestly, not anywhere near worth the price of entry. Nose was muted. Palate was light red cherries and strawberries.. all of the complexities were extremely subtle but not in a particularly poetic way.. slight mint and soil and stone.. I've had several better wines in the last few weeks alone that cost a third or less of the price that were more fascinating by far.. it's not that the wine is bad it should just be $65.. I just looked at the secondary market and it seems far more insane than what I tried, even

  Highly aromatic, intense berry and flower garden perfumed nose, with hints of grape jam and seeet herb. Palate was a bit closed yet still showed violet and purple flower. High toned finish.
