The Mugnier 2023s are as expected delightfully complex and refined, they are however also quite lightfooted compared to the stellar 2022s from this estate.
I do like the lightfooted 2023s and therefore the Mugniers are a welcomed addition to the delicate part of the 2023 vintage.
2023 holds many beautiful wines and the Mugnier lineup have a lot of beautiful wines … let´s pitch in!

The Mugnier ’23s are as expected emotional wines. They are, balanced and energetic wines that has a lovely freshness … They’re vivid and relatively cool (Who remembers a cool vintage these days?), reminding you of Burgundies from before global warming.
The 2023s is all about balance
The 2023s is a complex vintage where the balance between yields and ripeness became one of the key factors. How were the yields controlled and how did this affect the intensity and complexity?
Mugnier found a nice cool balance in 2023 – it is lightfooted and conveys the delicacy that most are looking for in a Mugnier wine.
The Mugnier 2023s are transparent, and while it’s early, they seem to offer all the qualities I look for: enjoyability, a refined expression of their terroirs, and delicate complexity. They are indeed wines of joy and pleasure, and first and foremost wines of hedonistic pleasure rather than the ultimate in detail and weight.
That said they are lighter compared to 2022 and 2019 … so perhaps not a vintage of the century but a vintage of hedonistic enjoyment.
The Chambolle-Musigny Village 2023 is a surprisingly forward and lightfooted appetizer to the rest of the line-up. It shows the virtues of the vintage, with the coolness and vivacity of the fruit hiding the year’s warmth. The nose is ethereal and open with lots of fruit nuances. Magnificent expression of fruit … but not fully living up to the gorgeous 2022.

The Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuees 2023 is one of my favorites. Still affordable yet giving so much joy and complexity The nose offers perfumed fruit notes, sensual and hedonistic fruit. It has this refined coolness and good acidity for the vintage. It has the magic …
