Jacques-Frédéric MUGNIER (Chambolle-Musigny) -- 2016 Tasted from Barrel

(Originally published 24 January 2018.)

Frédéric Mugnier said that harvest began on 25 September. Crop size was about half normal. There was no triage and no chaptalization, and all grapes were destemmed. Some alcoholic fermentations finished in barrel, which is unusual. Malolactic fermentations were rather light, mostly finishing in the spring.
