The volume here was relatively OK - it did not freeze. The first wine here to be quite open on the nose, and is frankly gorgeous, supple, super-silky, there's a readily identifiable quality about this cuvée. Marie-Andrée attributes some of this approachability to it having been homogeneously ripe - having not be frosted. Drinking range: 2027 - 2036 L&S (Oct 2022)

Cask sample. Light to mid cherry red. The fruit smells a little riper here than on the Vosne – even a touch of dried cherry as well as fresh fruit. Firm and savoury on the palate. Compact and dense but without heaviness – just intense fruit, as if the berries had been very concentrated but lightly handled. Drinking range: 2026 - 2038 Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2023)
A gorgeously elegant and perfumed nose is comprised by the pure essence of red cherries laced with spice and earth nuances plus a floral top note. The equally pure, lacy and attractively tension-filled middleweight flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the punchy, youthfully austere and beautifully persistent finale.

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru had the highest yield this vintage, cropped at 37hL/ha. It has quite a bold but exquisitely defined bouquet with plush dark cherries, bergamot and hints of bay leaf. The palate is beautifully focused with a wonderful sappiness, perfectly balanced with a slightly candied finish. Completely seductive.

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.- For full delivery details see our Delivery page.
