Tasting notes
The 2004 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru has quite an intense fungal, earthy bouquet, although there is sufficient decayed red fruit in the background. That said, this is one where aeration reveals some greenness. The palate is raw on the entry with rustic tannins, quite ferrous in style, and a slightly skeletal finish redeemed by its acidity. Yet it is not the greatest Clos de la Maréchale that Mugnier has ever made. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2003/2004 tasting in London.

Pale rusty ruby. Pale rim. There’s a leafy top note on the aroma of this wine that I don’t expect from other vintages. It blew off with time to leave a rather confident, exuberantly fruity nose. Very charming palate with nothing in excess though still with some fine, lightly sandy tannin in evidence. A very solid performance with no disappointing aspect. Very fresh finish. WYSIWYG. (JR)
Very rich and sweet on the nose. Richer than most Nuits and nicely settled now. Complex and developed. Jewel-bright, sweet fruit with a fine-grained dry finish but overall a little sweetness – almost like Chambolle. Reverberates. Very long and still with some fine tannins. (JR)
