Another superb 13! Mugnier’s Fuées, a magical vineyard and essentially a southern extension of Bonnes Mares, is just stunning tonight wafting layers of sweet strawberry-rhubarb, black tea, rose petals, game and smoky minerals. It’s liquid velvet in the mouth with an energetic spine of cool minerality and balanced acids adding freshness and focus to its delivery. A beguiling combination of power and elegance and a fabulous expression of the vintage. — 3 months ago
So aromatic - I thought I was smelling the lady next to me but no, it’s the wine. Heavily perfumed and floral - white gardenia, plumeria — 9 days ago

2016 vintage. Excellent fill and cork. Decanted with zero sed. Light/light-medium body. Tasted 45 minutes and 1.5 hours post-decant. All about the back-end white pepper/white sage/subtle clove spice rack finish. Excellent, lingering finish tickling different parts of the palate. More of a delicate Musigny. 08.01.25. — 5 months ago
This is lovely. Light berries, flowers, some earth and funk. Really opens up over a few hours. Seemed to get more floral. Some earth and meat and pepper and raspberry. Overall great mouthfeel and flavor. — 4 months ago
So expressive, finessed & elegant with its perfumed nose of red cherry, berry fruit, vosne spice & floral notes — a year ago

Beautiful translucent ruby red in the glass. So aromatic and heavily perfumed - I thought I was smelling the lady next to me but no, it’s the wine. White gardenia, violets. Not much fruit at all. Tannins are quite grippy for pinot noir, surprising. Finish is short-ish, bummer. The taste is very whelming but the aroma goes on forever and ever… and finally I smell that freshly rained-upon forest floor!! At the very bottom of the glass… pee-like ammonia. Not the best ending to a pretty glass. — 9 days ago
