Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale BLANC

An ancient bottle of Chardonnay found in the cellar revived Frédéric Mugnier's hope of owning land for a great white wine. The best genetic material was selected and grafted onto Pinot Noir vines in the Clos de la Maréchale, which are rooted in the best white wine soil. Aromatically, it differs from the wines of the Côte de Beaune in its wonderfully exotic notes, which combine wonderfully with pear aromas and a hint of spice to create an extremely fine bouquet. This white moves through the palate with power yet elegance. Its mineral and energetic finish raises the eyebrows. But hello, I think Mugnier has struck a diamond chasm because this wine not only surprises, but delivers seriously. “Sure”, you will now say, because this is also a Mugnier. You are right!
