2022 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Clos de la Marechale Blanc Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France
$170.00
From a 0.6-hectare Chardonnay plot within Mugnier’s walled monopole—recreated by over-grafting Pinot vines to Chardonnay when the Clos returned to the domaine—the 2022 marries the site’s limestone-rich soils to a low-intervention, detail-first élevage. The grapes are pressed directly, ferment slowly with ambient yeasts (initially in tank), and age about a year on fine lees in used barrels before a winter bottling, with modest sulfur additions before fermentation and at bottling. The style is mineral and quietly powerful for Côte de Nuits white—pear and citrus lift, a touch of pastry from lees time, and a long, saline finish that reflects the Clos’s chalk.
