• 2004 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru (5/20/2008)
  Opened and consumed out of bottle without decanting over the course of the evening - initially it shows the minerality the Les Fuées vineyard is known for (dusty, crushed rocks), with some underbrush framed by real pretty cherry aromas. Is there the "green note" of the 2004 vintage? Initially a bit, but it blows off. The wine fills out over the course of the evening, gaining weight and mid-palate density - it does lose some of the minerality but gains fruit in return. Ultimately a very poised bottle of wine which shows good Chambolle red fruit characteristics and enjoyable with roast chicken. (90 pts.)
