2011 Chambolle-Musigny, Les Fuées, 1er Cru, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, Burgundy Unit of Measure:6 X 750ML The 2008 is tightly wound

The 2008 is tightly wound and nervous

Despite an initial fruit-forwardness

especially in Beaune

but it is starting to get to the point when the Cabernet Sauvignon becomes thirst-quenching and finessed rather than forbidding

Fine with exceptionally fine tannins this has a lovely rounded finish with more than a hint of the savoury minerality of the vintage

2011 Chambolle-Musigny, Les Fuées, 1er Cru, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, Burgundy Unit of Measure:6 X 750ML The 2008 is tightly woundMild reduction renders the nose difficult to assess but there is plenty of verve and freshness to the intense middle weight flavors that brim with both a fine minerality and plenty of palate coating dry extract. There is strikingly good precision and detail to the impeccably well balanced, long and, like the villages, saline infused finish. Impressive. 90 93 100, Allen Meadows, Burghound
