What is the history of the Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier estate and how was it founded?
The Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier estate was founded in 1863 by Frédéric Mugnier, a liqueur producer based in Dijon, who acquired the Château de Chambolle-Musigny and its first vineyard plots. After a period of tenant farming entrusted to major Burgundian négociants, it was in 1985 that Frédéric Mugnier, an engineer by training and former commercial pilot, took back the reins of the family estate to restore it to its full splendour. A patient reconquest that has left a profound mark on the viticultural history of the Côte de Nuits.
