The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Marechale shows the more virile side of Pinot. Black cherries smoke, tar and licorice all come to life in this intense, broad-shouldered wine. Layers of fruit build to the muscular, virile finish. The wine?s masculine personality is quite a contrast to the seductiveness of Mugnier?s other 2009s.

Quite deep crimson. Mossy nose. Fresh and vibrant, perhaps a little chewy on the end without quite the virility of the Chambolles. But pretty well done! Quite tough and sculpted with a tiny bit of bitterness on the end. No more than 20% new oak. Drying end. Not the lusciousness of the Chambolles. Bitter cherry.

Mugnier’s 2009 Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos de la Marechale was drop-dead gorgeous. Clos de la Marechale is another of my go-to wines, as it is readily available (by Burgundian standards) and rarely excessively marked up on restaurant lists. The 2009 was ripe, open and seductive. Although very much in the style of the year, the Clos de la Marechale also showed plenty of structure in support of the radiant, expressive fruit. Readers fortunate enough to own the 2009 can look forward to a broad and long drinking window.
