The 'Outstanding' 2020s from Domaine JF Mugnier
“As such, they have everything they need to age gracefully for decades.” – Allen Meadows
In the hands of the Mugnier family, winemaking is not just a process; it is an art form, a means of conveying the story of the land, the climate, and the vintage. For William Kelley, 2020 from Jacques-Frederic Mugnier “is another brilliant vintage at this address, one of the Côte de Nuits greatest domaines, and readers shouldn’t hesitate to secure what they can, before it’s too late.”
That is why we are thrilled today to offer a collection of wines of this iconic domaine from this acclaimed vintage! The five cuvees we present today are all branded ‘Outstanding’ by Allen Meadows who says “remarkably promising, not to mention very classy…In a word, terrific…really quite impressive…lovely and understated…delicious, succulent.”
These are offered in pristine condition. Hurry up if you would like to secure some of these pearls.

2020 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru
7 bottles (x75cl) @ SGD$ 3,800/ bottle (inc GST $4,142)
“Restrained, pure and strikingly spicy aromas are comprised by notes of violet, rose petal, lilac, Asian-style tea and sandalwood. The gorgeously textured, even satiny, flavors glide across that palate while displaying an almost pungent minerality that also suffuses the wonderfully persistent if moderately austere finish. This is certainly bigger and more powerful than it usually is but it’s remarkably promising, not to mention very classy.”
96 Points Allen Meadows – ‘Outstanding’
2020 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Chambolle Musigny Fuees 1er Cru
9 bottles (x75cl) @ SGD$ 1,300/ bottle (inc GST $1,417)
“An even spicier and more intricately layered nose reflects notes of plum, violet and lilac along with a hint of dark chocolate. The sleek and succulent medium weight flavors possess slightly better mid-palate density while flexing a taut muscularity on the moderately powerful and more mineral-driven finale that exhibits excellent length. This superb effort is bigger than it usually is and though it could use better depth, more will almost certainly develop if given a chance. In a word, terrific.”

2020 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Nuits St Georges Clos de la Marechale 1er Cru
30 bottles (x75cl) @ SGD$ 250/ bottle (inc GST $272.50)
“An exceptionally pretty, indeed even perfumed, nose reflects aromas of dark currant, poached plum, newly turned earth and subtle anise hints. The refined and intense flavors possess good if not special density along with a beguiling sense of underlying tension that carries over to the dusty, youthfully austere, compact and lingering finish. This is unusually powerful, if a bit less refined, compared to its usual understated character and overall, it is really quite impressive.”

2020 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Chambolle Musigny
50 bottles (x75cl) @ SGD$ 650/ bottle (inc GST $708.50)
“Pretty and very fresh aromas include those of both ripe red and dark pinot fruit laced with a variety of spice and floral wisps. The delicious middleweight flavors exude evident salinity on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finale that really tightens up as it sits on the palate. This moderately austere effort is a lovely and understated Chambolle villages.”
91 Points Allen Meadows – ‘Outstanding’
2020 Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, Nuits St Georges Clos de la Marechale 1er Cru Blanc
6 bottles @ SGD$ 280/ bottle (inc GST $305.20)
“Ripe and vaguely exotic aromas include those of white peach, passion fruit, citrus confit and a pretty floral hint. The delicious, succulent, round and fleshy middleweight flavors exude a very subtle bead of minerality while the lingering finish is supported but lemon-tinged and very bright acidity where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This refreshingly bone-dry effort should repay mid-term keeping.”
