A 2007 Nuits-St.-Georges Clos des Fourches – the “second wine” of Chateau de Chambolle’s Clos de la Marechale – smells of ripe black raspberry and game, rosewood and moss. Relatively plush, with its tannins reasonably refined, it finishes with satisfying generosity if less complexity than the aromas intimated. I would plan on enjoying it over the next 2-3 years.
Frederic Mugnier’s 2008s – which I last tasted shortly before their March bottling – did not experience the exceptionally late malo-lactic transformation that characterized so many wines of that vintage. Yields were especially low thanks not only to vintage-typical millerandage, but – particularly in the case of Les Amoureuses – to the vines’ slow recovery from the shock of 2007 hail.
