Wine Advocate, April 2018, Score: 94
The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots from the Mugneret sisters is glorious, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of raspberry, plum, dark spice, wood smoke, black chocolate and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and expansive, with a supple frame of tannin, a deep core of succulently ripe fruit and a long, intense and youthfully tight-knit finish. This has great potential and will amply reward the patient. 94/100. Date 2025-2050.
Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
