"Again, Mugnier is one of the greatest names of Burgundy, and ultra-reliable. This wines comes from two named plots of vines: Les Plantes , which is a Premier Cru vineyard planted in 1968-69, and La Combe d'Orveau , where some of the vines date from 1952. As little as 3,000 bottles are produced, and Mugnier says this wine will cellar for "at least 10 years". There is a wonderfully lush, inviting cedar and spice quality to the nose, with earthy berry fruit, but also sweet violet scents that are very, very fine. The palate offers a raft of soft, sweet-edged strawberry fruit, with very little oak in evidence save a spicy, slightly woodsmoke quality into the finish. It is fleshy and ripe through the mid-palate, and has great balance. Lovely stuff I must say."
