Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier
ドメーヌ・ジャック・フレデリック・ミュニエ
Profile
シャンボール・ミュジニーに拠点を置くこのドメーヌは、村を象徴する二つの特級畑を含む計6つの銘醸畑を擁している。看板銘柄のミュジニーは、全グラン・クリュの中でも至高の存在と目され、豊かな果実味と驚異的な凝縮感を兼ね備える。1.14ヘクタールの区画は、主要な所有者の中でもヴォギュエに次ぐ規模を誇る。一方、モレ・サン・ドニにも跨るボンヌ・マールは、野性味を帯びた独特の個性を放つ。さらに、ニュイ・サン・ジョルジュのモノポールであるクロ・ド・ラ・マレシャルをはじめ、レ・ザムルーズやレ・フュエ、ラ・コンブ・ドルヴォーといった一級畑を保有。テロワールの核心を突くそのラインナップは、繊細さと力強さが共存する「ベルベットの手袋の中の鉄の拳」を体現している。

2History
Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier operates from the Château de Chambolle-Musigny — an imposing nineteenth-century house at the centre of the village — where cellars and winery occupy the château itself. The Mugnier family has held the property since the 1800s.
The current winemaker, Frédéric "Freddy" Mugnier, came to wine by an unusual route: he was an Air France pilot before turning seriously to the domaine in 1985. In the early 2000s he left flying entirely to concentrate on winemaking full time.
The most significant chapter of the modern estate came in 2004, when Mugnier brought Clos de la Maréchale back under direct management after a century-long lease to Domaine Faiveley. Recovering this 9.55 ha monopole — among the largest single-owner Premier Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges — reshaped the domaine's scale and profile overnight.
Winemaking Approach
Mugnier's wines are a benchmark for purity and elegance in red Burgundy.
- Gentle extraction: punch-downs and pump-overs are kept to a minimum, letting tannin and colour emerge naturally during fermentation. - Restrained new oak: low proportions throughout, preserving Chambolle-Musigny's inherently delicate character. - Low yields: held well below regulatory ceilings to balance concentration with finesse. - Destemming: the default approach, with whole-cluster adjustments made vineyard by vineyard and vintage by vintage.
The wines drink well young and age for decades — an unusual combination that has made the domaine among the most sought-after addresses in Burgundy.
