95 points (17.5/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "Subtlety and precision of flavor in the nuits Clos de la Marechale rouge: fresh tannins line the palate, building a clean structure that underlines the brightness of fresh, wild fruit, prolonged by brambly flavors. (2020)"
93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "I love the synthesis of the terroir of the Clos de la Maréchale with very suave vintages like 2017, as the combination works so beautifully. This is a superb young wine in the making, offering up a fine aromatic constellation of cherries, quince, a touch of nutskin, a lovely base of soil tones, woodsmoke, fresh herbs and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a lovely core of fruit, fine soil signature and grip, buried tannins and a long, vibrant and still fairly primary finish. This needs time, but is going to be outstanding. 2030-2075. (Sep/Oct 2021)"
93 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Fred Mugnier's sizeable 9.55ha premier cru is always a good source of well-priced drinking in Nuits-St-Georges. His sensitively oaked, refined 2017 shows his characteristic lightness of touch with filigree tannins and scented wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Drinking Window: 2022-2029. (11/5/18)"
93 points Fine Wine Review: "Dark fruits, sensual, pure, and welcoming." (3/11/17)
91+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is a little more introverted after its recent bottling, unwinding in the glass with a reticent bouquet of red berries, raw cocoa, sweet soil tones and dried flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with good depth at the core and a more structured, introverted profile than the Chambolle that preceded it. The missing ingredient here is a little time. Drink: 2027-2045. (1/9/20)"
91 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru has an open nose of red cherry, kirsch and desiccated orange peel, nicely defined if just needing a little more cohesion. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, and very pure and modern in style. Silky in texture with a pinch of spice, this will require two or three years to develop more terroir expression. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. Drink: 2023-2036. (Jan 2022)"
91 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A markedly earthy and still quite fresh nose features notes of various dark berries and hints of game along with a hint of green tea nuances. There is both good detail and a lovely underlying tension to the middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the mildly austere finish that delivers solid depth and length. This is still firm enough to warrant a few more years of keeping but at the same time, it's not so backward that it couldn't be enjoyed now in a pinch. Drink: 2027+. (Apr 2024)"
