The more serious of the two Nuits (they make Vignes Rondes too), there's real depth and succulemce here. Classic damson fruit and a sort of bubbly excitement as the fruit flavours bounce around the palate. Rich and weighty while being excitingly bright. Very long. L&S (Dec 2012)

The 2011 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru has a pure and perfumed bouquet with lush red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, finely integrated oak with just a hint of crushed rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, good density, pure with the right amount of salinity to leave you begging for another sip on the finish. There is a sense of completeness and harmony here. Wonderful. Drinking range: 2020 - 2036 Rating: 92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2019)

Mugneret-Gibourg's 2011 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Chaignots is remarkably polished and refined in this vintage. Sweet rose petals, spices and red berries emerge from a gracious Burgundy that shows the more finessed side of Nuits. This is one of the more classically structured 2011s readers will come across. Today, the Chaignots is drop-dead gorgeous. Dried rose petals, sage, mint and crushed raspberries linger on the close. 2018-2031 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2014)

Medium red. Black cherry, boysenberry and licorice on the nose; distinctly darker than the Vosne villages. Juicy, savory and nicely balanced, with a restrained sweetness framed by harmonious acidity. Dark fruit and licorice flavors display good intensity and are already quite seductive. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and very good length.

Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg was founded in 1933 on the marriage of Jeanne Gibourg and André Mugneret. Holdings then consisted of Bourgogne, village Nuits, village Vosne and Echezeaux. Their son Georges, an opthalmologist by day, added to the vineyards, but his acquisitions (Nuits 1ers Crus Vignes Rondes and Chaignots, Chambolle 1er Cru Feusselottes, and Grands Crus Clos Vougeot and Ruchottes Chambertin) were kept separate as Domaine Georges Mugneret.

On Georges' death in 1988, his widow Jacqueline and daughter Marie-Christine took over. Marie-Andrée, the younger daughter joined them a little later having completed her studies as an oenologist. In 2009 Jacqueline retired and the two domaine names were put together to become Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg, ending the prior confusion of labels.

The sisters have proved more than safe hands as far as the winemaking is concerned, and these are top-flight Burgundies with that elusive balance of enough concentration allied with delicacy of expression and the capability to age well. All the vineyard management has been brought in-house (the domaine previously relied on two métayeurs for part of the vineyard) and the quality has reached new heights, its wines some of the most sought-after in the Côte de Nuits.

In 2017 Marie-Christine 's daughter Lucie joined the domaine, and Marion and Fanny, daughters of Marie-Andrée are now also part of the team.
