Tasting notes
An ultra-elegant and stunningly pure nose offers up notes of red currant and blue pinot fruit that are trimmed in herbal tea, violet and rose petal nuances. There is a satiny texture to the intensely mineral-inflected and highly sophisticated medium-bodied flavors that possess beautiful complexity on the balanced, vibrant and impressively persistent finish that displays a touch of youthful austerity. This is an understated and impeccably well-balanced Fuées of grace and harmony that is evolving glacially, indeed to the point that it is going to require at least another decade of cellaring to arrive at its apogee. Brilliant!

Frédéric Mugnier’s 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées is the most delicate and fleeting of the wines in this tasting. Already highly expressive, the 2010 is showing quite nicely today. I don’t see the 2010 improving much from here; but rather expect the wine will remain at a plateau of openness for a number of years.
(13% natural alcohol): Medium red. Almost liqueur-like aromas of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, crushed stone and mocha. Silky and opulent, but with strong acidity to leaven the sweet dark raspberry and chocolate flavors. Finishes with a serious dusting of tannins and a very sweet note of maraschino cherry.
Saline notes are beautifully layered with ripe, sexy fruit in the 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées. Sweet floral and spice notes develop in the glass, but the Fuées is ultimately a wine of texture and sheer finesse.
