The score for 2019 Domaine Jacques Frederic Mugnier Clos de la Marechale Nuits St Georges Premier Cru is 92+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale has turned out beautifully, unwinding in the glass with scents of red berries, plums, orange rind, sweet spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with powdery tannins and lively acids, it's firmer and chalkier than its Chambolle counterparts, and it will require a bit of patience. Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier was disconcerted, nay alarmed, by the early date of harvest in 2020, yet he said he has come to like the ensuing wines more and more as they evolve during their élevage. And indeed, by the time I visited in late October, the 2020s were showing brilliantly - deep, vibrant, and concentrated, they will give the sensual, demonstrative 2019s a run for their money, but in an entirely different stylistic register. If the 2019s will show well after only a few years (even if their ultimate potential will take longer to realize), the 2020s are more tightly wound and seem to me likely to have shut down. Two warm, dry vintages, in other words, have produced wines that are qualitatively similar but stylistic opposites
