About this Item
Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier was founded in 1863 by Frédéric Mugnier’s great-great-grandfather. In 1985, Frederic – a fifth generation Mugnier – took over, and somehow managed to combine the running of the property with his job as an airline pilot. He now focuses his efforts solely on winemaking. The estate is renowned for its Chambolle-Musigny and is the second largest owner in Musigny.
The domaine was founded in 1863 by Frédéric Mugnier’s great-great-grandfather. In November 2003 the premier cru Clos de la Marechale vineyard was returned after being leased out to Domaine Faiveley for 53 years. From being a small 4.05-hectare domaine, they tripled in size with the reacquisition.

Critics Ratings
‘Saturated red-ruby color. Pure, vibrant nose features smoky black cherry. Rich, sweet and pure, with superb energy to the flavors of black and red cherry and minerals. Impressively dense, broad wine, finishing with excellent lingering perfume and solid spine for aging. In comparison to this wine, the 2005 version seems a bit easier.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, 92/100 (2009)
