Producer Profile
This domain has a long history dating back to the late 19th century when it was founded by Jules Mugnier. However, it was not until the 1980s that the estate gained prominence under the guidance of Jules Mugnier’s great-grandson, Frédéric Mugnier. Frédéric took over the domain in 1985 and implemented significant changes to elevate the quality and reputation of the wines.
Domaine Mugnier owns and cultivates vineyards in some of the most esteemed appellations in Burgundy, including Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges. They are known for their holdings in several premier cru and grand cru vineyards, including Les Amoureuses, Bonnes-Mares, and Musigny. The winemaking philosophy at Domaine Mugnier revolves around minimal intervention and respect for the natural expression of the grapes and terroir. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure only the best fruit is used. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, and ageing typically occurs in French oak barrels.
Due to the domain’s small production (around 60,000 bottles annually), it is often hard to find!
