90 David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The Mugneret 2006 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Chaignots exhibits rich plum and cherry with a vintage-typically tart edge, conducing to a combination of both caressing texture and tingling invigoration. The hint of wood (again – rather atypically for this address – distinctly evident) accentuates the sweetness of the fruit to a slightly preserve-like note in the finish, complimented by brown spices and with a hint of the carnal dimension one normally anticipates from this bottling. This was very late to go through malo and to begin to display harmony, but I still expect it will be best enjoyed fairly young, within the next 5-7 years."

"This is also mildly reduced with red berry fruit and earth notes fighting their way out of the funkiness to introduce the sweet and discreetly spicy moderately full flavors that are firm and focused and while admirably persistent, they finish with a touch of leanness. My score offers the benefit of the doubt that this will flesh out more with further time in barrel." -87-90 Points - Allen Meadows - Burghound
