Robert Parker (92)

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, J-F Mugnier's 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Fuées has quite a brisk and airy bouquet with lifted red cherries and strawberry notes, although it does not quite deliver the complexity of Ghislaine-Barthod's Les Fuées that was served in the same flight. The palate is quite oaky on the entry that obscures the terroir and renders the finish rather generic. There is a fine wine here, but it might need longer to knit together than some of its vineyard classmates. Tasted September 2017.

Vinous (91)

Medium red. Complex, slightly exotic aromas of raspberry, cherry, red licorice, minerals and smoky underbrush. Saline and classically dry on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity giving the wine a rather suave texture. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and lingering notes of earth and dried herbs.

Burghound (93)

Here the expressive nose is both elegant and complex with its combination of pomegranate, red cherry, spice and lavender. The refined, intense and precise medium-bodied flavors exhibit even more minerality on the delicious and inviting finish that is shaped by remarkably fine-grained tannins. Textbook Fuées.

Jasper Morris (95)

Pale colour but very elegant whole bunch nose. Alpine strawberries, rose petals. Very perfumed, on the edge of pommadé. Undeniably pretty though. With air this gains in substance and loses the pot pourrri character. Lovely lingering finish Tasted Sep 2017.
