Domaine Jacques Frédéric Mugnier - Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru - Les Amoureuses 2018
Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier is located in Chambolle-Musigny, in Burgundy. The estate was founded in 1863 by Frederic Mugnier, a liquor-maker from Dijon. In 1950, following the economic crisis and the World War, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, great-grandson of the first frédéric, chose to sell the liquor business and lease the vineyard out to a negociant in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The contract on the Chambolle vineyard ended in 1978 and 6 years later, Frédéric Mugnier, son of Jacques-Frédéric, assumed full responsibility for the family estate. The most recent addition to the estate was the return of Clos de la Maréchale to the domaine in 2004, changing dramatically its size and allowing a new and better organisation. Today, around Jocelyne and Frédéric Mugnier, the permanent team of the Domaine is attentive to every detail in order to bring from the vineyard to the cellar the best that nature can give, with minimal interference from technological practices.
Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is made from Pinot Noir from a parcel of 52,85 ares named Les Amoureuses. The youngest vines were planted in 1966, with the majority planted between 1954 and 1956. The annual production varies between 900 and 2,700 bottles. Allow this wine at least 7 years to develop.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
