Germany and Argentina before setting up his winery in an unglamorous corner of Portland

The Rose is the more sensual side of the house: the same precision

this wine develops green melon and apple notes that reveal themselves as the wine opens

and the wines from this stretch often read more like Vosne than the bigger-shouldered Nuits to the south

Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Marechale Blanc 2023 060526OFFER Germany and Argentina before settingClos de la Marechale is the southernmost Premier Cru in Nuits Saint Georges and a Mugnier monopole, and this is the rare white from it, a small planting of Chardonnay within the famous red vineyard. Mugnier always said this site has more in common with Chambolle than the rest of Nuits, and the white shares that elegance: precise, mineral and finely cut rather than fat. A distinctive, hard to find white from a domaine known for its reds.
