Aromatic and super pretty! I wouldn’t mind a bit more depth and complexity, but this is certainly open enough to be very delicious at this stage. I drank 19’ Fuées recently that was far more structured and tightly wound (and probably just a better vintage for this wine) but that bottle definitely needed more time while this 18’ is already drinking pretty well. I’d assume it’ll put on more weight in time but I don’t regret opening it tonight. I usually do enjoy drinking Mugnier wines on the younger side, they’re just so polished and tasty!

Five winos excellent adventure , mostly in Burgundy; 6/7/2019-6/15/2019 (Beaune, France): Expressive nose displaying opulent black fruit with a hint of red, blackberry, black cherry, cherry liqueur, sap, very floral, spicy spices and limestone mineral. Excellent concentration, nicely layered opulent black fruit, rich and sappy, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a seamless long ripe black fruit driven finish with sap and spicy spices at the end. Much deeper and more black fruit driven than the village Chambolle.

Youthful and coiled up a bit, but still so pretty and delicious. Need to revisit again in 2-3 years or so, I think.
