The history of the Domaine that lies in the heart of the village of Chambolle-Musigny begins in the 1880s with Frédéric Mugnier’s great-great-grandfather Francois. Since 1985, the estate has been led by Frédéric, after working as oil engineer, airplane pilot and attending oenology school in Beaune. Mugnier de-stems 100%. During fermentation, punch down is very gentle and done relatively infrequently, and new oak usage is minimal. ‘Maréchale’ lies at the southernmost end of N-S-G, coming from the Premeaux commune.
Involves meticulous steps including 100% destemming of the grapes before direct pressing. The destemmed grapes then undergo a slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months on fine lees in barrels, incorporating up to 15% new oak. This approach, combined with destemming, aims to craft a complex, age-worthy Chardonnay that embodies the vineyard's distinctive terroir.
